Pablo Prigioni: Announces retirement Monday
Pablo Prigioni announced his retirement from professional basketball Monday via his personal Twitter account.Prigioni was waived by the Rockets prior to the start of the season, and he'll call it a career after failing to draw interest from other teams. The 39-year-old spent the majority of his career overseas before coming to the NBA as a 35-year-old rookie in 2012-13. Prigioni played two-plus seasons with the Knicks before being dealt to Houston in 2014-15. He spent last season with the Clippers, appearing in 59 games and making three starts. In 270 career NBA games, Prigioni holds career averages of 3.5 points, 2.8 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 steal in 16.9 minutes per game.

Pablo Prigioni: Waived by Rockets
Pablo Prigioni was waived by the Rockets on Monday, Chams Charania of The Vertical reports.The Rockets were initially expected to keep Prigioni and waive Tyler Ennis, but they've apparently changed course and will part ways with the 39-year-old veteran on the eve of the regular season. While Prigioni is a heady, pass-first point guard, he's not a strong three-point shooter and at his age may have struggled in Mike D'Antoni's uptempo offensive system. Retirement could now be in the cards for Prigioni, though he'll likely explore his options elsewhere before going down that path.

Rockets' Pablo Prigioni: Plays 19 minutes in return from injury
Pablo Prigioni (shoulder) scored 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and added one assist across 19 minutes in Friday's 114-99 preseason loss to the Spurs.Prigioni had sat out the previous two games with a left shoulder sprain, but was given some run Friday while the Houston Rockets rested numerous key rotation players in the preseason finale. With Patrick Beverley expected to miss about three weeks after requiring a left knee scope, Prigioni will presumably move up to the second spot on the depth chart. However, Prigioni doesn't figure to see many minutes behind starter James Harden, who routinely sees one of the league's largest workloads.

Rockets' Pablo Prigioni: Questionable for Friday
Pablo Prigioni (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's preseason finale against the Spurs, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston (KRIV) reports.Prigioni has missed the last two games while dealing with a left shoulder strain and it wouldn't be surprising if he was ultimately held out Friday in order to avoid any further complications prior to the regular season. He's expected to open the season as the team's backup point guard, but if he misses additional time, Tyler Ennis would likely see added run with the second unit. Both Prigioni and Ennis could drop out of the rotation entirely once Patrick Beverley (knee) returns, though it's unlikely that Beverley will be available for next week's regular-season opener.

Rockets' Pablo Prigioni: Doubtful for Saturday
Pablo Prigioni (shoulder) did not practice Friday and is considered doubtful for Saturday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Mark Berman of FOX 26 Houston reports.Prigioni suffered from the shoulder strain in Wednesday's preseason win over the Pelicans and looks to still be struggling with the ailment. At 39 years old, it's likely the Houston Rockets remain extra cautious with the point guard, and the newly acquired Tyler Ennis should take on Prigioni's minutes for as long as he is ruled out.

Rockets' Pablo Prigioni: Suffers shoulder strain in preseason win
Pablo Prigioni exited Wednesday's 116-104 preseason win over the Pelicans with a left shoulder strain, ESPN.com's Calvin Watkins reports.Prigioni hurt his shoulder when he ran into the Pelicans' Alexis Ajinca, spelling an early end to his game. He finished with four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across three minutes. The Houston Rockets are listing Prigioni as day-to-day ahead of Saturday's exhibition against the Grizzlies, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the team ended up holding the 39-year-old out of that contest.

Rockets' Pablo Prigioni: Signs two-year deal with Rockets on Wednesday
Pablo Prigioni has signed a two-year deal with Houston, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reports.Prigioni's second year on his contract will be a team option. The 39-year-old point guard was a serviceable backup last year for the Clippers, although his stat line of 2.5 points, 2.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game would seem to suggest otherwise. The veteran's strength lies in his fundamental passing and court presence which, unfortunately, doesn't translate to a whole lot of fantasy production. Even if Prigioni does win the backup job in Houston behind Patrick Beverley, he will likely not be a consistent fantasy producer in 2016-17.
