The Houston Rockets yesterday acquired center Cody Zeller and a 2028 second round pick, which originally belonged to them, in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks for the draft rights to Alpha Kaba.
Zeller (6-11, 247) was the fourth overall pick by Charlotte in the 2013 NBA Draft. The 11-year veteran has appeared in 552 games with 275 starts while averaging 7.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 22.7 minutes per game.
In a related move, the Rockets have waived guard Jaden Springer.
