Wiltjer was recalled from the D-League on Monday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie out of Gonzaga has an intriguing combination of size and outside shooting ability, but he's flat-footed defensively and not ideally suited for the Rockets' fast-paced style of play. As such, he's unlikely to be a relevant fantasy commodity this season but could be a deep rotational player down the road. In five games for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Wiltjer averaged 21.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
