Nwaba is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas, Craig Ackerman of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba will return to the starting five in place of the injured Danuel House who's out with a back injury. The undrafted forward out of Cal Poly started the first two games this season for John Wall and averaged 12.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 29.5 minutes of action.

Nwaba will start Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

With John Wall (COVID-19) among others sidelined for the Rockets, Nwaba will join the starting five and should see significant action. During the preseason, he saw 16.3 minutes per game and averaged 6.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks.

Nwaba had just four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in 17 minutes during Thursday's 128-106 preseason victory over San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba continues to work his way back from a torn Achilles, playing 17 minutes in the victory. The Production is nothing to write home about; however, the fact he is playing 17 minutes in a preseason game certainly bodes well for his availability come the season proper. His exact role is unclear but he does have the ability to contribute on both ends of the floor, as well as defend multiple positions. He is far from a standard league asset but could be a player to watch in deeper formats.

Nwaba (Achilles) said that he'll be ready for the start of the season, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba intends to make his return for the start of the upcoming season after undergoing right Achilles' tendon surgery in January. The 6-foot-4 guard wouldn't figure to be much more than a deep bench option for Houston at this point, especially following such a major surgery.

The Rockets exercised Nwaba's (Achilles) $1.6 million team option for the 2020-21 season Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba signed on with the Rockets before the bubble but did not play in Orlando as he worked back from a torn Achilles. It's unclear when Nwaba will be ready to return to game action, but the Rockets will keep him around as a deep bench option.

Nwaba (Achilles) signed a two-year contract with the Rockets on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba will not play during the resumed season due to Achilles surgery rehab, but the contract includes a team option for the 2020-21 campaign. Nwaba has played 161 games across his four seasons, averaging 6.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 combined steals-plus-blocks across 20.5 minutes.

Nwaba (Achilles) was waived by the Nets on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba is set to miss the remainder of the season due to a torn Achilles, prompting Brooklyn to part ways with the 26-year-old. Prior to getting hurt, Nwaba posted averages of 5.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per tilt (20 games).

Nwaba has been diagnosed with a right torn Achilles tendon, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba wasn't putting any weight on his right leg on the way to the locker room, and his season is likely over after further testing confirmed a torn Achilles tendon. Wilson Chandler, Dzanan Musa and Joe Harris could see extra minutes with Nwaba lost for the rest of the year.

Nwaba was helped to the locker room after suffering a right leg injury during Thursday's game against San Antonio, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba appears unlikely to return to this one after he was unable to put any pressure on his right leg on the way to the locker room. Details surrounding his injury should surface in the coming days.

Nwaba (ankle) will play Thursday against the Spurs, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba was considered probable for Thursday due to an ankle injury, but as expected, he's been given the green light to take the court. He's averaging 8.6 points and 2.6 rebounds over his last five matchups off the bench.
