Trivia Question: How many NBA championships has Shaquille O’Neal won? Answer below.
Rockets to waive Marcus Camby
Posted at 07:15 PM ET
The Houston Rockets will waive center Marcus Camby on Monday, a source told Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle. Camby has been unable to come back so far from a torn plantar fascia tissue and the team is unable to wait for surgery which could take several months to recover from. Camby, 39, was brought in this summer to provide a veteran presence and insurance at the center spot, but if he is simply taking up a seat on the bench in a suit, he’s not that helpful. By cutting him, the Rockets allow themselves to keep an extra player, at least for now, and continue to evaluate the roster while Camby rehabs. Camby said this isn’t the end of his playing days. “I understand the situation. They need healthy guys. Once I get healthy you can expect to see me again,” he told Mark Berman of Fox 26.
Trivia Answer: Shaq won three titles with the Lakers from 2000 to 2002 and one with the Miami Heat in 2006.
