Rockets Interested In Khris Middleton, Cam Johnson, And Others

Houston is not hiding their interest in Cam Johnson, Khris Middleton, and even Austin Reaves. This is according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.

Whether or not the Rockets can obtain any of these players, there is a more extensive list of players they are interested in acquiring. Jordan Clarkson, Rui Hachimura, Brook Lopez, Bruce Brown, Donte DiVincenzo, Jakob Poeltl, and Dwight Powell are all players the Rockets want to have.

This comes after the reports of James Harden most likely re-signing with the Philadelphia 76ers. Plus, after the drafting of Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore.

That said, Houston has a lot of work ahead of them as their list proves they want to be active this offseason. They are beyond committed to winning games by hiring a solid coach and making smart moves this off-season.

Nassir Little Gaining Interests From NBA Teams

According to Marc Stein, Nassir Little’s performance in the G League Showcase has put him on the radar of several teams.

Not only is Little on their radar, but there’s a large expectation of him signing with a franchise in the coming future.

In 16 G League games with Sioux Falls, the 24-year-old is averaging 16.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 33.8 minutes.

He’s considered to be one of the better wing defenders in the G League right now, which one veteran scout said, “He’s one of the better game-ready call-up guys.”

Little has spent five years in the NBA; four years with the Portland Trail Blazers and a year with the Phoenix Suns.

Per multiple reports, he has turned down overseas opportunities to remain in the G League to earn an NBA roster spot.

Anthony Davis Suffers Ankle Sprain On Christmas Day

According to reports headlined by the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis suffered a left ankle sprain during their victory against the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day.

Davis only played seven minutes in the game after rolling his ankle in the first quarter. When the 31-year-old went to the locker room, he never returned.

This was a non-contact injury while in the paint trying to grab a rebound; Davis immediately grabbed his ankle and walked off into the locker room.

The good news is that he could walk off under his power; Davis did not need assistance.

Los Angeles lists him as “day-to-day” with no clear timeline for his return.

Their next game is this Saturday, December 28th, against the Sacramento Kings. It is a home game.

Pat Riley Issues Statement That Heat Aren't Trading Jimmy Butler

According to the Miami Heat, they have no interest in trading away their superstar player. Pat Riley, who usually doesn’t do this, has had enough of these rumors and put them to bed.

“We usually don’t comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches,” said Riley. “Therefore, we will make it clear – We are not trading Jimmy Butler.”

On Christmas Day, ESPN’s Shams Charania said Butler wanted to be traded by this upcoming season’s trade deadline. This speculation has grown since Charania and Butler’s agent were online feuding.

Trade rumors and reports have risen since Miami decided not to extend the veteran last offseason.

For right now, Riley says the Heat will not be trading Butler. Essentially saying people like Shams are completely wrong and will remain loyal to the 35-year-old for at least through this season.
