Rockets 'parting ways' with Anthony

HOUSTON — Carmelo Anthony is done in Houston.

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey released a statement Thursday saying the team is “parting ways” with Anthony.

Anthony played just 10 games for Houston after signing a one-year, $2.4 million deal during the offseason.

Morey added that: “Carmelo had a tremendous approach during his time with the Rockets and accepted every role head coach Mike D’Antoni gave him. The fit we envisioned when Carmelo chose to sign with the Rockets has not materialized, therefore we thought it was best to move on as any other outcome would have been unfair to him.”

Anthony was traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Atlanta Hawks in July before the Hawks released him to clear the way for him to sign with the Rockets.
