The Houston Rockets have waived center Josh Harrellson.

The Rockets made the cut after acquiring Argentine forward Carlos Delfino this week. The 6-foot-10 Harrellson was acquired when Houston traded Marcus Camby to New York on July 11.

Harrellson played in two games for the Rockets' summer-league team. He averaged 4.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in 37 games for the Knicks in 2011-12. The former Kentucky standout was a second-round pick in the 2011 draft by New Orleans, then dealt to New York on draft night for cash considerations.
