According to NBA.com, the Rockets have made their personnel decisions and reduced their roster to 15 for the regular season.  Cut were guard Damon Jones, guard Darren Kelly, and center Ike Nwankwo.

Nwankwo became expendable after Kevin Willis was acquired from Denver.  The surprise is that camp-fodder guard Tierre Brown was kept.  Damon Jones, who has previously played for several NBA teams, was apparently beat out of a job by this undrafted rookie.
