The Rockets will waive Carlos Delfino before his $3 million option becomes guaranteed on June 30th.
The price-tag isn't unreasonable for Delfino, who shot 37.5 percent from downtown last year, but he had foot surgery in May and his 4-6 month timetable makes him iffy for the start of the 2013-14 season. The decision to waive him is even less surprising given Houston's desire to clear cap space for a run at top-tier free agents. Jun 16 - 10:40 AM

Carlos Delfino - G/F - Rockets

Carlos Delfino's surgery to repair a fractured foot bone has an expected recovery time of 4-6 months.

Delfino was in pain since at least April and he was finally shut down in early May. Rockets GM Daryl Morey said that the team "expect[s] he will be fully recovered in time for the start of next season," but the 4-6 month timetable means it's far from a certainty. Houston has a $3 million option for Delfino next season, which is fully unguaranteed if he's waived by June 30.

Carlos Delfino - G/F - Rockets

Carlos Delfino (foot) is out for the rest of the playoffs.

Delfino has a bone fracture in his right foot and needs surgery. It's a severe blow to the Rockets' chances of coming back from an 0-3 hole to beat the Thunder. Delfino was one of the defenders coach Kevin McHale was using on Kevin Durant and he made 11 3-pointers in the first four games of the series. Francisco Garcia and Chandler Parsons are going to have to avoid foul trouble while guarding Durant.

Updating a previous item, Carlos Delfino (foot) did not take part in shootaround on Friday, and he'll be further examined before a decision on his availability is made.

Delfino was going for X-rays and evaluation on his sore foot on Thursday, so it's not a good sign that he wasn't on the floor. Even if Delfino does suit up, we'd expect very little production given that he's nowhere close to full strength.

Carlos Delfino - G/F - Rockets

Carlos Delfino, who is wearing a walking boot for his sore left foot, was scheduled to undergo X-rays on Thursday.

Delfino's status for Game 6 is up in the air, but after dealing with a sore left foot earlier in the season, the issue hasn't gone away. "I've been having this for a couple of weeks now," he said. "I've been playing in pain." Kevin McHale revealed Delfino is dealing with bone spurs, a fracture of a bone spur, and "a lot of different stuff going on." Even if Delfino somehow plays on Friday, expect Francisco Garcia to see extended minutes.

Carlos Delfino - G/F - Rockets

Coach Kevin McHale said Carlos Delfino will have the bone spurs in his left foot examined Thursday.

Delfino's been dealing with a foot injury since at least early April, but the tests come one day after his worst performance of the Rockets' opening-round series. The veteran swingman was held scoreless and managed just one assist in 10 minutes of action Wednesday night. McHale said the Rockets would have an update on his status for Game 6 later in the day. With Jeremy Lin still dealing with a chest contusion, the Rockets' backcourt would be stretched pretty thin if Delfino has to sit out.

Carlos Delfino is expected to play more power forward in Game 2.

With the Thunder utilizing a small lineup at times, Delfino at the four is more effective than someone like Donatas Motiejunas. Delfino's ability to play multiple positions should secure at least 25-30 minutes per night going forward.

Carlos Delfino - G/F - Rockets

Carlos Delfino hit six 3-pointers in a loss at Phoenix on Monday to go with 23 points, eight boards, two assists, two steals and one block in 31 minutes.

He had four 3-pointers on Sunday and he's creeping back into the conversation just as the season comes to a close. If you're on the hunt for triples, Delfino could be useful in the finale against the Lakers on Wednesday. Although, the Rockets won't be able to go small against Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard.

Carlos Delfino did not score in his return from the flu in Friday's 82-78 loss to Memphis.

He played just 15 minutes after missing four games and he probably still isn't quite up to 100 percent. Delfino can be left on the wire and those that picked up Francisco Garcia (six points with two 3-pointers) can probably start looking elsewhere.

Carlos Delfino (flu) is expected to play on Friday.

After sitting for nearly a week with a bad case of the flu, Delfino should be back in there against the Grizzlies. His presence will be especially important if Chandler Parsons (calf) sits out.

Carlos Delfino (flu) returned to a full practice on Thursday.

Delfino has been fighting the flu for about a week, but it's a great sign he's back in practice. He should be able to go on Friday against Memphis as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

Carlos Delfino (flu-like symptoms) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Delfino has now missed four straight games with this mysterious illness. Chandler Parsons (calf) is also out, making Francisco Garcia a streaming option. Las Vegas has set the over/under in this game at 213.5, the highest total of the night.

Carlos Delfino (flu) did not participate in shootaround on Tuesday and is 50-50 to play against the Suns.

Delfino did not play on Saturday against the Nuggets and he must be dealing with a really bad flu bug to still be feeling the effects. With Chandler Parsons (calf) already out, Francisco Garcia, Terrence Jones and James Anderson should all see even more minutes if Delfino sits.

Carlos Delfino (illness) will not play in Saturday's game vs. Denver.

Chandler Parsons is also out with a calf injury, which means Francisco Garcia will play all the minutes he can handle. Cisco is a great spot-starter in fantasy leagues, though his value is tentative with both Delfino and Parsons day-to-day.

Carlos Delfino - G/F - Rockets

Carlos Delfino (illness) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

He missed Friday and the Rockets went with a patchwork group to fill the void left by Delfino. Francisco Garcia is expected to start again on Saturday while guys like Terrence Jones, Donatas Motiejunas and James Anderson will also get a few more minutes should Delfino sit again. Saturday's game starts at 9:00 EDT.
