Rockets Clear Space for Westbrook | NBA News
Description
Houston just made a bold move by releasing JD Davison, clearing cap space and roster spots as they eye a potential reunion with Russell Westbrook. With VanVleet sidelined and Smart already in the fold, Davison’s future looked dim — now the Rockets can bring back the veteran playmaker who averaged 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.7 assists last season. The only hurdle? Clearing $2.4M — likely via trading or waiving Isaiah Crawford, whose contract isn’t guaranteed until 2026. Westbrook’s energy, leadership, and elite assist percentage could be exactly what Houston needs to push past the luxury tax and compete.
