Report: Wall will continue to sit out after meeting with Rockets
Houston Rockets guard John Wall will continue to sit out this season after meeting with team staff, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Wall reportedly informed the Rockets he would be willing to play as a starter, but Houston's plan was to have him come off the bench.
There have been no buyout talks yet as the Rockets continue to seek a trade, Charania adds.
The five-time All-Star was clearly frustrated after the meeting, posting an Instagram video of him working out along with the hashtag "#FreeMe."
