ANALYSIS: ESPN adds that, "the Rockets have wanted Wall to accept a complementary role to its young players to play on this team, and the five-time All-Star guard's unwillingness to do so continues to be a hurdle for the sides in a possible return to play this season."

Talks will be ongoing between the two sides as the season unfolds, but for now, Wall will remain in street clothes indefinitely.
