Granted a waiver by the NBA that will allow them to sign a 16th player, the Rockets were close to an agreement with Josh Davis, a forward playing with the CBA Idaho Stampede, Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson said.

Davis, a 6-8, 240-pound forward, has played 50 NBA games with the Hawks, 76ers and Bucks but was released by Milwaukee this month.

In three games with the Stampede, he averaged 17.3 points and 6.6 rebounds.

"He's had some NBA experience with a good stretch with Philadelphia," Dawson said. "He's a pretty rugged player, a good rebounder and can spread the floor. He can shoot the 3."
