The Rockets acquired Wall (abdomen), Danny Green and a 2023 first-round pick swap Thursday in a three-team deal that sent Eric Gordon and three second-round picks to the Clippers and Luke Kennard to the Grizzlies, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Though Wall has now been shipped to Houston for the second time in his career, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports that the veteran point guard is expected to be bought out of his contract before ever donning a Rockets uniform. Wall, who is recovering from an abdominal strain that has kept him sidelined since mid-January, averaged 11.4 points, 5.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds over 22.2 minutes in his 34 appearances for the Clippers this season. When healthy, Wall should attract plenty of interest from contending teams looking to add an experienced point guard to its bench.
