The adventure of Theo Maledon at the Houston Rockets will have come to a halt! Transferred from the Thunder to the Rockets a few days ago, the Frenchman has just been cut according to The Athletic. To note that Moe Harkless suffered the same fate.
He only played one game and 7 short minutes with the Texans in the preseason and he didn’t seem to have a future in the backcourt with Kevin Porter Jr. et Jalen Green.
We can think that he should have no trouble finding a base in the NBA.
For 75 games his 2021-22 season was a huge hassle, not used, sent to the G-League, and we had to wait for the last games to see him at work and perform well. He finished the season with averages of 7.1 points at 37.5% including 29.3% from distance, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists. He had a series of 5 games during which he compiled 22.8 points at 50.6% including 42.9% from distance, 5.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1 steal.
Rockets waiving G Theo Maledon, sources tell @TheAthletic.
