OCTOBER 17: The Rockets have converted Days to a two-way contract, the team confirmed today. With Favors also officially waived, Houston is now within the regular season roster limit.
OCTOBER 16: The Rockets will give their open two-way slot to Darius Days, tweets Kelly Iko of The Athletic. Houston claimed Days on Tuesday after he was placed on waivers by the Heat.
The 6’7″ forward out of LSU had a strong showing with the Spurs at the Las Vegas Summer League. The Heat gave Days a two-way contract in July, but later converted him to an Exhibit 10 contract and cut him when they decided to give Jamal Cain that two-way slot.
Miami had hoped to send Days to its G League affiliate if he cleared waivers, but the Rockets snatched him away.
Houston’s roster now appears set with veteran big man Derrick Favors expected to be waived before Monday’s deadline. Rookie guard Trevor Hudgins holds the team’s other two-way slot.
Still salty the Heat couldn’t keep him. Not sure where he’s going to get opportunities in Hoiston, with several players at his positions, so hopefully they’ll get another shot at him later in the season
These are the Days of his life
