Rockets' Troy Williams: Assigned to D-League
Williams was assigned Thursday to the D-League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
Analysis:
The Vipers are currently fighting for a D-League championship, with Thursday marking the final game of the series. Williams will head down looking to help secure the trophy, but should be recalled shortly after to rejoin the Rockets for their own playoff run. That said, Williams didn't play a minute in the final four games of the Rockets' first-round matchup with the Thunder and is nothing more than emergency depth off the bench.
