Days is out for the Las Vegas Summer League due to an illness, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Days will miss not only the Sixers' opener in Las Vegas but the entire tournament. He played for the Vipers in the G League during the 2023-24 season, and all signs point to him returning there for 2024-25 as well.

Days (ankle) was waived by the Rockets on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Days was unavailable for Friday's preseason finale against the Heat due to a right ankle sprain, and he'll be let go by Houston shortly before the start of the regular season. However, if he clears waivers, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land a role in the G League at some point.

Days won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Heat due to a sprained right ankle, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Feigen, Days left Wednesday's exhibition during the final minute after suffering the injury. The second-year big man is under a two-way contract, so when healthy, he'll likely report to the Rockets' G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

Days has been ruled out for Friday's Summer League game versus the Trail Blazers due to a non-COVID illness, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Days will miss the Rockets' first Summer League game. He'll look to clear the aliment in time for Sunday's matchup against the Pistons in Las Vegas.

The Rockets signed Days to a two-way contract Friday, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Days will spend his second season in Houston on a two-way contract. As a rookie, he averaged 3.8 points and 1.5 rebounds in 6.3 minutes across four NBA appearances.

Days concluded his rookie campaign with averages of 3.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 0.3 blocks in 6.3 minutes per game across four contests.

EDGE Analysis

Days was a February depth piece with a few starters and rotation pieces banged up, but he wasn't able to make his way into the rotation at any other point during the 2022-23 campaign. The LSU product impressed in the G League this season, averaging 24.4 points and 9.8 rebounds, but it will be difficult for him to carve out a significant role with the Rockets, who have a solid young frontcourt duo in Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith.

Days logged 29 points (12-24 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 37 minutes during the Vipers' 121-111 win over Santa Cruz on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Days has logged 29-point tallies twice across March. The month continues to showcase his consistency, which has helped the Vipers improve from a negative record to 17-11 at the moment.

Days logged 29 points (10-23 FG, 7-19 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals across 43 minutes during the Vipers' 134-124 win at Birmingham on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Attempting a bunch of three-pointers helped Days log an excellent point tally at Birmingham. Since the 2023 All-Star break, he has averaged 31.0 points across three games.

Days logged 37 points (13-19 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during the Vipers' 109-100 loss to Long Island on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Unlike during his short time with the Houston Rockets, Days is expected to be one of their G League team's best scorers and rebounders moving forward. Following the double-double, he is averaging 22.9 points and 9.6 rebounds across his 18 G League games this season.

The Rockets assigned Days to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Tuesday, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Houston is set to get at least one starter (Jalen Green) back from a multi-game absence Tuesday against the Nuggets, while Kevin Porter (foot) is listed as questionable and may also be ready to return to the lineup. As a result, the Rockets won't have much of a need to keep either of their two-way players on hand as added depth, so Days and guard Trevor Hudgins will head back to Rio Grande Valley. Days made his first four appearances of the season for Houston following his call-up from the G League earlier this month, averaging 3.8 points and 1.5 rebounds in 6.3 minutes during those contests.
