On December 9, 1977, a scuffle broke out during a game between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers, with Lakers forward Kermit Washington involved.

The correct call: The NBA has not changed the traveling rule. Stu Jackson, the league's executive vice president of basketball operations, said recent media reports that the rule had been changed to allow an extra step after the dribble were not true.

The Houston Rockets on Friday waived veteran guard Brent Barry. Barry averaged 3.7 points, 1.4 assists and shot 37.4 percent from three-point range in 56 games last season, his lone campaign with the Rockets.

Monday: Rockets 105, Thunder 85. Preseason record: 4-3. Friday: Dallas at Toyota Center, 7:30 p.m. TV/radio: FSH; 610 AM, 850 AM .

With Monday's roster deadline looming, the Houston Rockets on Thursday cut two of the necessary four players, guards Romel Beck and Garrett Temple.A This comes at no surprise, considering Beck and Temple were two of the four Rockets' players in camp without guaranteed contracts for this season.

With the Rockets expected to make roster decisions this week, possibly making their first cuts of the preseason today, Pops Mensah-Bonsu would seem to be in a good position after Monday's game.

For a few hours each day, Garrett Temple is an NBA player, free to focus on the usual challenges.

The Rockets' back-to-back this week will make five of their first six preseason games away from Toyota Center, with Rockets coach Rick Adelman particularly frustrated about the length of the trip for today's game in Toronto.

Rashard Lewis scored 22 points and Marcin Gortat had 14 points, 14 rebounds and six blocked shots to help the Orlando Magic beat the Houston Rockets 113-104 in a preseason game Friday night.

Even before the Rockets held Tuesday's second practice, they dropped the other planned two-a-day workout from the week's schedule, with coach Rick Adelman saying he does not have enough healthy bodies at the small forward/shooting guard spots for that schedule.

Seeking another offensive option for training camp, the Rockets on Thursday reached agreement on a non-guaranteed contract with free agent guard Rashad McCants, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

Tickets for Memphis Grizzlies games have been moving briskly, or at least relatively well by Griz standards, since Allen Iverson signed on.

According to a Fox Houston report , Brent Barry will not play for the Rockets this season.

In it, Doug Gottlieb predicts the Wildcats to finish in sixth place but suggests they could make the NCAA tournament.

The Rockets signed Pops. All is well. Perhaps not. The Rockets genuinely like Pops Mensah-Bonsu. He is an energy player who seems determined only to find ways to help his team win, which is a good thing.

According to the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Rockets are exploring trade options for 37-year-old sharpshooter Brent Barry.

Seeking to open up some roster space before the start of training camp at the end of the month, the Houston Rockets reportedly are seeking to trade aging bench scorer Brent Barry.
