  • Rockets' N'Faly Dante: Makes NBA debut Monday

    Rotowire

    Dante racked up 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 19 minutes during Monday's 137-128 loss to Oklahoma City.

    Dante made his NBA debut Monday, as four of the club's usual starters were sidelined. The big man finished one rebound shy of a double-double in an efficient performance. The 23-year-old will likely struggle to earn playing time unless several injuries to key contributors arise, though his level of play Monday is an encouraging sign for the future. The two-way center has appeared in 31 games for the club's G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, averaging 14.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.7 minutes per contest this season.

  • Rockets' N'Faly Dante: Assigned to G League

    Rotowire

    Houston assigned Dante to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Tuesday, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

    Dante made his NBA debut Monday against the Thunder, finishing with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 19 minutes. The Rockets are likely to get some healthy bodies back in the rotation Tuesday, so it's not a surprise to see Dante back with the Vipers.

  • Rockets' N'Faly Dante: Recalled to NBA

    Rotowire

    Houston recalled Dante from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Monday.

    The Rockets could be shorthanded for Monday's game against the Thunder, and they could use some frontcourt depth with Alperen Sengun (back) and Steven Adams (ankle) considered questionable.

  • Rockets' N'Faly Dante: Returns to G League

    Rotowire

    The Rockets transferred Dante to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Friday.

    Dante has yet to make an NBA appearance this season. However, the two-way player should continue to receive increased playing time while with the Valley Vipers.

  • Rockets' N'Faly Dante: Joins parent club

    Rotowire

    The Rockets recalled Dante from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Thursday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    Dante will rejoin the Rockets ahead of their game against Minnesota on Thursday. The rookie two-way center has yet to appear in an NBA game and is unlikely to be part of the rotation Thursday.

  • Rockets' N'Faly Dante: Returns from G League

    Rotowire

    The Rockets recalled Dante from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Tuesday, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

    Earlier Tuesday, Dante played 27 minutes in Rio Grande Valley's 124-112 loss to the Austin Spurs, finishing with 16 points (8-10 FG), 13 rebounds, four blocks, two assists and two steals. The rookie big man will be available for Wednesday's game against the Warriors but probably won't factor into the rotation.

  • Rockets' N'Faly Dante: Agrees to two-way deal with Houston

    Rotowire

    Dante has agreed to a two-way contract with the Rockets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Dante put in averages of 17.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.9 swats per contest during his senior year at Oregon, but the 6-foot-10, 260-pound big man could have a tough time adjusting to the NBA. While he does have good defensive instincts, he's not particularly comfortable sliding his feet on the perimeter, and he hasn't developed much of a shooting stroke. Expect him to spend a lot of time with Houston's G League affiliate.
