The Houston Rockets moved on from one of their young prospects today, waiving 22-year-old center/forward Zhou Qi, according to Shams Charania.

According to Jonathan Feigen, he had fallen way behind Isaiah Hartenstein in the pecking order, and his inability to get healthy this year certainly didn’t help matters.
