Willie Cauley-Stein: Won't be retained by Houston

The Rockets won't offer Cauley-Stein a second 10-day contract after his initial deal expired Wednesday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Cauley-Stein didn't make any NBA appearances during his 10-day contract and will likely rejoin the Rockets' G League affiliate in Rio Grande Valley unless another NBA team swoops in and signs him. He previously appeared in 20 games (two starts) between the Mavericks and 76ers during the 2021-22 season, averaging 1.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.2 minutes.
