McConnell was waived by the Rockets on Friday. McConnell signed with the Rockets earlier Friday but was waived shortly after, likely paving the way for him to join their G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. The Rutgers product spent last season with the Hornets' G League team, the Greensboro Swarm, where he averaged 5.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals across 26 appearances.

McConnell and the Rockets agreed to a deal Friday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. Houston's preseason has wrapped up, so McConnell won't have a chance in game action this fall. That makes it very likely that he's going to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers shortly.

McConnell was waived by Charlotte on Wednesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. McConnell, a second-year pro from Rutgers, is a candidate to join Charlotte's G League affiliate in Greensboro. He spent last season with the G League's Oklahoma City Blue.
