The Rockets waived Council on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was an expected move after Council signed an Exhibit 10 deal on Oct. 17. Council is set up to join the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the G League.

Council agreed to a contract with the Rockets on Friday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While specifics of the deal are unknown, Council likely signed a non-guaranteed pact. If he's waived, the Arkansas product is expected to join Houston's G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, to begin the 2025-26 season. Over 73 regular-season appearances with Philadelphia in 2024-25, Council averaged 7.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.1 minutes per contest.

Council will not be joining the Nets for training camp, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

While reports indicated Council signed a one-year deal to join the Nets, he will ultimately not be joining the team, making him a free agent. Council is coming off a season with the 76ers during which he averaged 7.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.1 minutes per contest across 73 appearances. Council should garner interest ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Council and the Nets agreed to a one-year contract on Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

EDGE Analysis

Council, who was recently let go by the 76ers, enters into a pretty good situation for his development with the Nets in the early stages of a rebuild. Council amassed 105 career regular-season appearances with the 76ers over the past two seasons with averages of 6.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers on 40.2 percent shooting from the field.

The 76ers waived Council on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Council saw his playing time increase over the course of the 2024-25 regular season due to multiple injuries with the team. After the All-Star break, he averaged 9.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 22.3 minutes per game, while starting in eight of those second-half contests. Council will turn 24 in August, and his youth and upside should garner plenty of interest from teams on waivers or on the open market if he clears waivers.

Council closed Sunday's 122-102 loss to the Bulls with five points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one block over 22 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Council struggled after moving to the second unit for the Sixers' regular-season finale, and he shot just 25.8 percent from the field during his final five appearances of the 2024-25 campaign. The second-year forward received an uptick in playing time due to a litany of injuries this season, finishing with averages of 7.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 three-pointers, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks across 17.1 minutes per contest in 73 regular-season games.

Council will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Council was in the starting lineup for Friday's loss to the Hawks, but he will be in the second unit for Sunday's regular-season finale. In 60 games in a reserve role, the Arkansas product has averaged 6.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game, shooting 39.7 percent from the field.

EDGE Analysis

Council will make his 12th start of the season Friday and eighth since March 14. Over his last 15 games, Council has averaged 10.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 24.8 minutes per contest, though he's shooting 36.9 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from three across that span.

EDGE Analysis

Council will be in the second unit for Philadelphia on Thursday after starting the last two games. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 6.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 40.3 percent from the floor in a reserve role for the 76ers this season.

Council notched 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 127-109 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

The 76ers were missing a total of 10 players Sunday, allowing Council to step into a featured role.
