Rockets' Donatas Motiejunas says his back no longer an issue

Houston Rockets forward Donatas Motiejunas has said that his back is no longer giving him any problems during workouts.

What It Means:

Motiejunas said in June that his back wasn't 100 percent, so this seems to be a fairly recent development. He is a restricted free agent, and as a versatile seven-footer in a free agent market that has quickly dried up, his back being healthy might create some more interest for him.

Motiejunas finished last season with a -1.7 nERD, good for only 97th in the NBA, and he averaged 6.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game with a .503 true shooting percentage and 11.0 percent total rebound rate.
