The Rockets are close to adding guard Richie Frahm to fill the roster spot opened when the team waived Gerald Fitch on Monday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves released Frahm in part so he could get a chance to play with the Rockets. He had fallen out of the Timberwolves' rotation behind Trenton Hassell, Ricky Davis and Rashad McCants and has not played since Feb. 11.
