Veteran forward Vin Baker's tumultuous career has taken another downward turn.

The Houston Rockets on Friday waived Baker, who has played for three teams over the past two seasons after spending the first nine of his career with Milwaukee and Seattle.

A four-time All-Star from 1995-98 and a member of the United States' Olympic gold medal-winning squad in 2000, Baker has averaged 15.1 points and 7.5 rebounds in 783 games.
