15 former Rockets that are still available on the free agent market

4. Austin Rivers

Austin Rivers joined the Rockets at the perfect time, as the franchise was hindered by injuries during the 2018-19 season, which birthed the unguardable tour by James Harden. Rivers played well enough to land another year in the Space City. 

In 2019-20, Rivers averaged 8.8 points and 2.6 rebounds, while making 35.6 percent of his long-range attempts. Rivers dropped a career-best 41 points in the bubble against the Sacramento Kings.

Rivers has played for three different teams since leaving the Rockets and finds himself out of work now after occupying a reserve guard role for the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2022-23.
