Shved was traded to the Rockets on Friday for center Ronny Turiaf and a second-round pick, FOX 26 Houston reports.
The 26-year-old Shved will be afforded another fresh start with the Rockets after playing in just 17 games with Philly. While the backcourt situation is more crowded in Houston, he figures to step in as a top option behind Patrick Beverley right away, perhaps relegating Isaiah Canaan to a lesser role. Shved has been getting to the free throw line more often this season (3.4 attempts per game), resulting in a 9.9 points per game average in 16.8 minutes.

Shved (hip) scored 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3P, 5-6 FT) with two assists and a steal in 16 minutes off the bench Wednesday.
It was a solid return to action for Shved after he missed three games, but he's not likely to see a big increase in minutes with Tony Wroten due to rejoin the lineup in the near future as well.

Shved (hip) will play Wednesday against the Hawks, Philadelphia Daily News reports.
Shved participated in Monday's practice and will give it a go Wednesday. It's unclear how many minutes he will receive however, and it will likely depend somewhat on the status of Tony Wroten, who is a game-time decision.

Shved (hip) participated in parts of Monday's practice and is questionable to play Wednesday agains the Hawks, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.
A hip pointer has held Shved out of the team's last three contests, but it appears he has a chance to return for Wednesday's contest. A decision likely won't come until Wednesday afternoon, as the team will gauge his activity level during Tuesday's session. Prior to the injury, Shved had recorded back-to-back solid performances, putting up 18 points and five assists against the Mavericks (Nov. 29) and 19 points and four assists versus San Antonio (Dec. 1).

Shved has a hip flexor injury and is questionable for Wednesday's game, the Sixers' official site reports.
Shved played 28 minutes in the Sixers' loss to the Spurs on Monday, as Tony Wroten was out with a knee injury. Wroten is expected to miss Wednesday's game, making Shved the only possible healthy backup for Wednesday. If Shved sits out, the Sixers may have to ask K.J. McDaniels to initiate the offense at times and for Michael Carter-Williams to play more minutes than his typical heavy load.

Shved scored 19 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go along with four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes Monday against the Spurs.
Shved scored 18 points Saturday against Dallas, so he's put together back-to-back solid performances. Philadelphia doesn't have a very deep roster, so Shved might be working his way into an expanded role if he can keep this up.

Shved scored four points in 12 minutes Monday against the Spurs.
The news here is that Shved played after sitting out two games with a sore back. At the moment, he appears to have moved past the injury, so deploy him as usual until further notice.

Shved was in a suit Thursday against the Mavericks, sitting out with a sore back.
Shved is averaging 9.7 points and 3.4 assists in 17.9 minutes per game this season, but will likely see a reduction in minutes with Michael Carter-Williams returning. Shved's next chance to return is Friday against the Rockets.
