Marcus Camby will have no shortage of suitors as an unrestricted free agent.

Camby is targeting a return to the Rockets.

“I would like to be here, but I understand the NBA is a business,” Camby said. “A lot of suitors are going to be trying to reach out. This is where I want to be. So hopefully, we can make something work.”

Kyle Lowry is scheduled for off-season surgery to repair a sports hernia and will miss the Rockets' final two games of the regular season.

“I’m shutting it down,” Lowry said. “With the injuries, I won’t be playing again this year. With the groin and the sports hernia, it’s a lot to deal with. I made a decision to shut it down.”

Lowry missed 15 games with a bacterial infection and has struggled since returning to the court, shooting just 25 percent over his last five games.

“It’s been a long process,” Lowry said. “I haven’t been healthy since I came back. I was trying to help my team. I’ll probably need surgery after the season. I’ve had (the sports hernia) since last July. Now, I think it’s gotten worse. I played with it all year, but it got to the point it got too bad.

“If anybody has seen me play lately, it’s not who I am. It’s one of those tough processes, I tried to play with it and do what I can and not complain about it. It’s a situation I have to get it fixed and taken care of.”

Marcus Camby hopes to re-sign with the Rockets this offseason.

"With me being a free agent [in the summer] and the Rockets looking for a big man in the middle, I hope we can get something done in the summer," said Camby.

"I want to stay. I actually built a house from scratch in Houston like five years ago with the intentions of finishing my career down there. So it's crazy how things play out.

"From the coaches and from management and my meetings I've had with them, I think they enjoy what I've been doing with my play and my leadership. I know from talking to my representative that there's going to be a lot of suitors at the end of the season, but this is where I want to be. It's something we'll definitely address at the end of the season."

Camby believes he can play up to four more seasons.

"I want to play 20 [seasons]," said Camby. "That's the goal. That's the magic number. I'm at 16 now, so we'll see.

"Now I'm more able to think the ballgame through and see different spots out there on the court where I can make plays for my teammates. [Smarts] definitely helps balance what you lose physically. It definitely does. 

The Rockets will sign veteran guard Earl Boykins for the remainder of the season, agent Mark Termini confirmed.

Boykins is averaging 5.7 points and 2.7 assists in 15 minutes per game.

He has appeared in eight games for the Rockets.

Diamon Simpson has signed with the Houston Rockets.

Simpson was most recendly with the Adelaide 36ers of the Australian NBL.

Simpson attended training camp in 2009 with the Warriors.

The Houston Rockets assigned Courtney Fortson to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Rockets’ NBA Development League affiliate. 

Fortson, who earned a Call-Up to the Rockets from the Los Angeles D-Fenders on March 17, has appeared in five games for Houston this year, averaging 2.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 7.2 minutes. During a previous stint in the NBA, Fortson appeared in four games for the L.A. Lakers. In nine total NBA games this season, he is averaging 3.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 9.1 minutes.

Earl Boykins will be re-signed by the Rockets with his 10-day contract coming up on Thursday, according to a source.

“I have no idea,” Boykins said. “I haven’t talked to anyone, and honestly, I don’t worry about it. My job while I’m here is to play as hard as I can.”
