It looks like former Houston Rocket, Royce White, will be playing ball again soon. The father of 30 (I’m rounding up) has had quite a rookie year with the Houston Rockets. His bout with anxiety has made it increasingly hard for him to travel to away games, the team deemed him AWOL after missing several practices, he was sent over to D-League but now he is back and will be playing for the Sixers.

The Houston Rockets have agreed to trade 2012 first-round pick Royce White to the Philadelphia 76ers for future draft considerations, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The moves clears White’s $1.7 million contract for next season, giving the Rockets further flexibility to deliver a maximum contract offer to free agent star Dwight Howard.
Along with White, who clashed with the organization and never played a minute in the regular season, the Rockets will send the draft rights to an international prospect and cash.
I’m interested in seeing how the 76ers will be dealing with White and if they have kept up with his antics over the last year. Will they start him? Are they aware he won’t travel? Are they ready to bend over backwards for his every demand unlike the Rockets. I guess we’ll have to see!
