Rockets to waive injured center Marcus Camby

The Rockets will waive center Marcus Camby on Monday, a person with knowledge of the decision said Sunday. Camby had been unable to come back from a torn plantar fascia tissue which has kept him out throughout the preseason.

Camby’s agent, Rick Kaplan, confirmed the decision and said Camby does not intend to retire.

The Rockets will have to make one more cut to the roster to get it down to 15 by Monday’s 4 p.m. deadline. Guard Reggie Williams was the only healthy player that did not play Friday in Memphis.
