Here are Wednesday’s G League assignments and recalls from around the NBA:
- The Hornets have sent rookie forward Caleb Martin to the Greensboro Swarm, according to Charlotte’s official site. The 6’5″ 24 year-old has played in five games for Charlotte.
- The Rockets have recalled center Isaiah Hartenstein from their G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, according to Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston (via Twitter). The second-year big man has played in nine games for Houston this season.
- The Clippers have recalled center Mfiondu Kabengele from the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario, per the team. The 2019 No. 27 pick, nephew to Hall of Fame big man Dikembe Mutombo, has appeared in nine games for Los Angeles thus far.
- The Nuggets have assigned forward Jarred Vanderbilt to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the team tweets.
- The Kings tweet that they have assigned rookie power forward Wenyen Gabriel to their Stockton G League affiliate. Gabriel has played in seven games for Sacramento this year.
- The Wizards have recalled rookie point guard Justin Robinson from the Capital City Go-Go in time for tonight’s Bulls game, the team tweets. He did not log hardwood time. Robinson has played in six games for Washington this season.
The Rockets are still flying under the radar, as usual.
They overcame a 25-point deficit against the Spurs in their last game, then overcame a 17-point deficit on the road against the Clippers giving them their 2nd home loss of the season. Keep doubting the Rockets!!
People keep saying the Russell Westbrook is a terrible fit for the Rockets and can’t possibly exist in the same offense as Harden. They combined for 77 points tonight, the two MVP’s can co-exist.
I think rockets better with Westbrook than Paul . I think rockets are a championship contender. Problem is both Harden and Westbrook don’t have best playoff history. Over a 7 game series good teams find ways to shut them down.
