Both Thornton and Donatas Motiejunas will return to the Rockets after the deal that sent them to Detroit last week was voided Monday, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Concerns about the long-term health of Motiejunas' back are what prompted the trade to be voided, and all three players involved will now return to their original teams. Thornton and Motiejunas will head back to Houston, while Joel Anthony, who was traded to the Rockets, then the 76ers, will rejoin the Pistons. Expect Thornton to slot back into the role he held before the traded deadline, as a consistent rotational guard off the bench.
