Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson revealed Thursday that the team has waived forward/center Matt Haryasz.
Haryasz, 22, played in two preseason games at center, where the Rockets already have Yao Ming, Dikembe Mutombo and Juwan Howard. Second-year forward Chuck Hayes has also played center in certain situations.
After signing with Houston following a solid summer with the Rockets' summer league team, Haryasz averaged 3.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 9.5 minutes of action.
