Forward James Nunnally is heading back to Italy where he has already played with Sidigas Avellino in 2015-2016, a source told Sportando. Nunnally has been waived by the Houston Rockets before his 10-day contract expired and is returning to Europe where he is expected to sign a contract till June 2020 with AX Armani Exchange Milano.
Mark Berman: James Nunnally (@James Nunnally)on being waived by the #Rockets after signing a 10-day contract: “That’s the unfortunate part of the business.Things like this happen.” (On potential of returning to the Rockets?) “Whatever happens happens. It’s a great place,a great situation for me”
Tim Bontemps: Mike D’Antoni is frustrated about how Houston’s roster crunch because the league office wasn’t open today to process the Carmelo Anthony trade cost James Nunnally his roster spot. “It’s not right,” D’Antoni said.
In a related move, the Rockets have waived forward James Nunnally, who was a on a 10-day contract.
Adrian Wojnarowski: The NBA office will not execute the trade today because it’s a holiday, league sources tell ESPN. To clear the way for Kenneth Faried to sign and play tonight in Philadelphia, Rockets had to waive to James Nunnally. Trade call on ‘Melo will likely be Tuesday.
Jonathan Feigen: Rockets will waive James Nunnally today to open the roster spot for Kenneth Faried. Were unable to deal Carmelo Anthony in time to open the roster spot, source said. Chance to bring Nunnally back once the spot opens, but that has not been determined, per source.
Shams Charania: The Houston Rockets are waiving guard James Nunnally to create roster space for Kenneth Faried, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @WatchStadium.
Albert Nahmad: Kenneth Faried is set to clear waivers at 5:00 pm EST today. If the Rockets want to sign him before tonight’s game, they’ll need to first clear a roster spot. If they can’t find a Carmelo Anthony trade in that span of time, they’ll just terminate James Nunnally’s 10-day contract.
The Rockets will need to trade a player to a team with an open roster spot, or waive a player, before signing Faried. It is possible for Houston to hold off on signing Faried to find a way to create the roster spot, but there’s a need to get him into the team’s depleted frontcourt as soon as Monday night against the 76ers. The cleanest solution to the Rockets clearing a roster spot without a trade is releasing James Nunnally five days early from his 10-day contract. The contract signed on Jan. 16 is set to expire Jan. 25. Nunnally would not need to be waived.

James Edwards III: Blake Griffin-less #Pistons fall to the Kevin Love-less #Cavs, 126-119. Detroit is 0-3 in games in which Griffin has missed with rest. Pistons move to 36-34 on season and begin a West Coast excursion on Thursday, starting in Phoenix.
Chris Fedor: Six straight 20-point games for #Cavs rookie Collin Sexton. Kyrie Irving’s longest rookie streak was five. LeBron’s was four. I’m pretty sure Austin Carr’s was six.
