Presumably to gain NBA G League affiliate rights, the Houston Rockets waived forward Trhae Mitchell shortly after signing him and used the empty roster spot to sign guard Pierriá Henry.
Teams can carry up to 20 players on their roster until next week’s roster deadline on the eve of the 2022-23 regular season, at which point rosters must be cut to a maximum of 15 players on standard contracts plus two on two-way deals. For many players waived in this process, the NBA team that had them on its roster for the most training camp days has rights to assign them to their G League club.
