The Rockets surprised their fans Wednesday afternoon when they announced that they have waived Josh Davis and John Lucas III.
Both Davis and Lucas were signed just last Friday.
The news immediately led to trade speculation as the Rockets were left with just 14 players on the roster, but word is that isn't the case.
The deadline was fast approaching to where the players on the roster with contracts would be guaranteed through the rest of the season, so both Davis and Lucas were let go. As 10-day deals can officially be signed on Thursday, there is a good chance one of these guys (most likely Lucas) will be brought back.
One and only one could be brought back however as the Rockets are about to lose the "16th" roster spot that the NBA granted them due to their high number of injuries. With Rafer Alston now back and Jon Barry expected to return soon, the team will no longer be eligible for it.
