Yahoo! Sports is reporting the Houston Rockets have traded Royce White to the Philadelphia 76ers for a second-round draft pick.
White, a 2012 first-round pick of the Rockets, didn’t play in any regular season games last season and spent the majority of his time suspended or in developmental league.
White’s struggle with anxiety and fear of flying was the main reason he didn’t play much of the season.
League source: Sixers likely to use Royce White as expiring contract. Team option for 2014-15 has to be picked up in Oct. #Sixerstalk
