As a result of the tweets, officials at RGV were trying to determine if White would be on the roster for Thursday night's home game against Iowa. Including Thursday night, the Vipers have nine games remaining on the schedule. In 12 games with the Vipers, including eight starts, White has averaged 9.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. The Rockets have no official statement as of yet. White battles anxiety disorder and that was known when the Rockets selected him out of Iowa State in the first round with the 16th overall pick. After missing an early portion of the preseason, White came back, then left the team before playing a regular-season minute. The Rockets officially sent him to the D-League on Dec. 29. White refused the demotion the next day, citing unsafe conditions. The Rockets suspended him on Jan. 6. CSN Houston

The injury bug has bitten the Cleveland Cavaliers hard as of late. Already without Kyrie Irving and Anderson Varejao, the Cavs recently learned that Dion Waiters will sit out a week to nurse a sore knee. The guard may end up needing surgery. Unable to find a way to quite stop the bleeding just yet, a source tells RidiculousUpside.com that Cleveland will turn to the NBA D-League for a bandaid of sorts. The source says the Cavaliers will bring aboard NBA veteran and current Tulsa 66ers guard Chris Quinn, who was not seen in uniform on Tuesday night when his team took on the number one seeded Bakersfield Jam. A five year veteran of three NBA teams, Quinn last appeared in The Association during the 2010-11 season with San Antonio. He was also one of final cuts during training camp last fall with the Utah Jazz. Ridiculous Upside

Delonte West made his D-League debut tonight. He had 10 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds in 36 minutes: In Delonte West's first game with the Texas Legends of the D-League, he contributed 10 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. However, the 29-year-old was definitely rusty after sitting out for the whole season. He shot just 4-15 from the field (1-2 from three-point range) and turned the ball over 6 times. The Legends lost the game, 103-85. Several NBA teams are monitoring West, who was waived by the Dallas Mavericks during the preseason. Sulia

The Knicks aren’t that desperate yet, but will be one of the teams monitoring the progress of mercurial point guard Delonte West, expected to make his D-League debut tonight when the Texas Legends host the Santa Cruz Warriors. West is a super talent and super headache, but, at 29, a relative pup by Knicks standards. He hasn’t played all season but was effective last year with Dallas. The Knicks haven’t been thrilled with their point-guard play since Christmas, with Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd falling back to Earth, Iman Shumpert not being a reliable scorer and playmaking rookie Pablo Prigioni not enough of an offensive threat.

Free agent guard Dominique Jones has signed with the Springfield Armor of the NBA D-League, his agent told RealGM. While Jones received interest from two NBA teams since being waived by the Dallas Mavericks on March 9, the 24-year-old believes playing in the D-League will allow him to log significant minutes and continue to develop. Jones is still open to signing with an NBA team before the end of the season, preferably under a contract that is partially guaranteed for next season. RealGM

According to Rafael Barlowe, who serves as a scout and videographer for the Mavericks' D-League affiliate, West is finally poised to make his debut this coming Saturday, when the Legends take on the Santa Cruz Warriors. There's no doubt that given his skill set and past NBA (on the court) experience, West would stand to provide a huge assist of sorts to any number of contending big league teams. Though any potential suitor would have to look past West's previous off-the-court debacles, also key to his comeback is proving he's currently still in shape and capable of competing. Perhaps a couple of games in Texas will help him prove that. Only then will an NBA team be more motivated to scoop him up in time for the postseason. Seeing is believing. Ridiculous Upside
