Rockets' Kyle Wiltjer: Assigned to D-League

Wiltjer was assigned to the D-League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Tuesday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

With the Rockets off the schedule, Wiltjer will head to the D-League to suit up for Rio Grande Valley in their matchup Tuesday with the Northern Arizona Suns. There's a chance that the Rockets will recall Wiltjer in advance of Wednesday's tilt with the Lakers, but he's unlikely to see the court in that contest if it remains competitive.
