Rockets' TyTy Washington: Scores 10 points in 29 minutes
Rotowire
Washington ended with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 113-95 loss to Cleveland.
Washington scored in double digits for just the second time in his career, logging a career-high 29 minutes in the loss. There is a certain amount of upside attached to Washington but to this point, he has been underutilized by coach Stephen Silas. There is no need to rush to add him based on this performance, though he is someone to keep an eye on as the silly season approaches.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Recalled from G League
Rotowire
The Rockets recalled Washington for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League on Saturday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
With Kevin Porter (foot) uncertain to play Sunday against the Clippers and Jalen Green facing a possible suspension after leaving the bench during an altercation that occurred in Friday's loss to the Kings, the Rockets will bring Washington aboard to restore some depth in the backcourt. Washington, who erupted for 53 points, 10 rebounds and four assists Friday in the Vipers' 134-113 loss to the Stockton Kings, could be asked to play significant minutes Sunday if both Porter and Green aren't available.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Huge production in G League
Rotowire
Washington logged 53 points (15-33 FG, 6-17 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 39 minutes during the G League Rio Grande Valley Vipers' 134-113 loss to the Stockton Kings on Friday.
Washington had himself a night, accounting for nearly half of the Vipers' scoring total in the blowout loss. The Rockets recently dispatched Washington to the G League to pick up playing time since he wasn't included in the NBA rotation, but he could soon be en route to Houston while Kevin Porter (foot) nurses an injury.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Logs 21 points as secondary option
Rotowire
Washington logged 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and two steals across 39 minutes during the Vipers' 128-122 win at Salt Lake City on Tuesday.
Washington served as a great scorer and distributor during the Vipers' latest game, but he wasn't their best player. That was Trevor Hudgins, who will continue being Washington's partner in the starting backcourt. Washington is expected to give Hudgins a little leeway, but it shouldn't diminish the former's value.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Double-double during G League game
Rotowire
Washington logged 24 points (10-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes during the Vipers' 124-110 loss Saturday versus Sioux Falls.
Washington was sent to the Rockets' G League team, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, after sitting out Thursday's loss to the Jazz. While with the Vipers, he is expected to be one of the best options they have and will be given the keys to score and distribute at will, like he did Saturday.
Washington supplied 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 loss to the Celtics.
Washington played as the primary backup behind Kevin Porter, usurping Daishen Nix in the rotation. Managers have been calling for Washington to play more minutes since Opening Night, and while this is still only deep-league relevant, it is certainly a step in the right direction. Managers in deeper formats should keep an eye on things in Houston, just in case Washington can carve out a regular 20-minute role.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Decent all-around production
Rotowire
Washington produced six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Saturday's 107-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Washington did his job off the bench in this one and has now handled playing time in each of his last two contests since being recalled from the G League. He managed to make an impact across the board and also recorded his first steal of the season. Washington will likely struggle to see consistent minutes going forward, however, as he's sitting behind Kevin Porter, Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and Jalen Green on the depth chart.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Recalled to NBA
Rotowire
The Rockets recalled Washington from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Monday, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Across 10 G League games this season, Washington has averaged 20.2 points while shooting 48.3 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from downtown. The 21-year-old will likely be available for Houston's matchup against Philadelphia on Monday, but he isn't expected to garner a large enough role to attain fantasy relevance.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Leads Vipers with 20
Rotowire
Washington racked up 20 points (7-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two steals and a rebound over 32 minutes Tuesday versus the Squadron.
Washington clearly has free reign to shoot as much as he pleases in his G League contests, attempting at least 15 shots in all but two of his appearances with the Vipers. Tuesday marked his least-efficient night from the field since the opener versus the same Squadron, who appear to have his number.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Heads back to G League
Rotowire
Washington was sent back to the G League on Tuesday, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Washington saw his first action of the season Monday versus the Clippers, logging four minutes in the game. The rookie appears bound to float between the two levels in 2022-23, though he'll be a name to monitor later in the season if the Rockets lean toward an even more youth-laden rotation.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Plays just four minutes Monday
Rotowire
Washington racked up one point (1-2 FT) in four minutes during Monday's 122-106 loss to the Clippers.
Washington made his debut for the Rockets after being recalled from the G League after suffering a knee injury during the preseason. While there is clearly nothing to see here from a fantasy perspective, he is a name to watch, at least in deeper formats. The Rockets spent a first-round draft pick on Washington, so they are likely to inject him into the rotation at some point down the line.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Returns from G League
Rotowire
The Rockets recalled Washington from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Thursday, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
The Vipers don't have another game until Thursday, so Washington and two-way player Trevor Hudgins will rejoin the NBA team to give the Rockets some added depth in the backcourt. Washington, a rookie first-round pick who has yet to make his NBA debut, is unlikely to be included in head coach Stephen Silas' rotation Monday against the Clippers or Wednesday in Dallas before likely heading back to the G League.

Rockets' TyTy Washington: Sent to G League
Rotowire
Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said Thursday that Washington will be assigned to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The rookie first-round pick is back to full health after he suffered a sprained left knee in an Oct. 14 preseason game, and though he was active for the Rockets' last two contests, he has yet to make his NBA regular-season debut. The Rockets won't have room in the rotation for Washington for the foreseeable future, so the 21-year-old will head to Rio Grande Valley in order to get some meaningful run.

Washington (knee) will miss Friday's game versus Grizzlies, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Washington sprained his knee during the Rockets' preseason finale and missed Wednesday's season opener. The team has back-to-back games scheduled Friday and Saturday, so it's unclear if Washington will be available for Saturday's game versus the Bucks or if he's set to miss both.
