火箭裁掉双向合同球员拉斐尔·卡斯特罗
Rockets Waive Two-Way Player Rafael Castro
火箭裁掉双向合同内线拉斐尔·卡斯特罗，据ClutchPoints记者Brett Siegel报道。卡斯特罗8月与火箭签下覆盖两个赛季的双向合同，由于双向合同不计入工资帽，火箭不会因此产生死钱。火箭由此空出一个双向名额，其余双向球员为后卫Quadir Copeland和Sean Pedulla。
The Rockets have waived Rafael Castro, tweets Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.
Castro signed a two-way contract with Houston in August. That two-way deal covered two seasons, but since two-way contracts don’t count against the salary cap, the Rockets won’t carry any dead money on their books by releasing the 6’11” big man.
Castro, who struggled to gain playing time in two seasons at Providence from 2022-24, transferred to George Washington for his junior season and became the team’s full-time starting center. He was named to the All-Atlantic 10 second team and the conference’s All-Defensive team during each of his two years with the Revolutionaries.
As a senior in 2025/26, Castro averaged 15.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.8 steals, and 1.7 blocks in 27.3 minutes per game across 27 appearances. The 23-year-old shot 62.7% from the field and 66.1% from the free throw line.
Shortly after Castro went undrafted in June, word broke that he had agreed to terms with the Bucks on a two-way deal. However, that contract was never signed, so either the agreement fell through or it was reported erroneously.
Houston now has a two-way opening after cutting Castro. The team’s other two-way players are guards Quadir Copeland and Sean Pedulla.
