Darius Days: Let go by Houston
Days (ankle) was waived by the Rockets on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Days was unavailable for Friday's preseason finale against the Heat due to a right ankle sprain, and he'll be let go by Houston shortly before the start of the regular season. However, if he clears waivers, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land a role in the G League at some point.

Per Feigen, Days left Wednesday's exhibition during the final minute after suffering the injury. The second-year big man is under a two-way contract, so when healthy, he'll likely report to the Rockets' G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

Rockets' Darius Days: Struggles in pros
Days concluded his rookie campaign with averages of 3.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 0.3 blocks in 6.3 minutes per game across four contests.
Days was a February depth piece with a few starters and rotation pieces banged up, but he wasn't able to make his way into the rotation at any other point during the 2022-23 campaign. The LSU product impressed in the G League this season, averaging 24.4 points and 9.8 rebounds, but it will be difficult for him to carve out a significant role with the Rockets, who have a solid young frontcourt duo in Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith.

Rockets' Darius Days: Returning to G League
The Rockets assigned Days to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Tuesday, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Houston is set to get at least one starter (Jalen Green) back from a multi-game absence Tuesday against the Nuggets, while Kevin Porter (foot) is listed as questionable and may also be ready to return to the lineup. As a result, the Rockets won't have much of a need to keep either of their two-way players on hand as added depth, so Days and guard Trevor Hudgins will head back to Rio Grande Valley. Days made his first four appearances of the season for Houston following his call-up from the G League earlier this month, averaging 3.8 points and 1.5 rebounds in 6.3 minutes during those contests.
