Garcia (calf) was released by the Rockets on Friday, Yahoo! Sports reports.

Garcia was removed from the roster to open a spot for Corey Brewer, who was acquired from the Timberwolves on Friday. He averaged a career-low 3.2 points in 14.3 minutes for the Rockets this season, but figures to get a look elsewhere.

Garcia was out again Thursday against the Pelicans, missing his fourth game in a row.

Garcia sustained a calf injury on Dec. 6 and hasn't appeared in a game since then. The veteran should be considered day-to-day, since no timetable has officially been given for his return.

Garcia (calf) will not play in Saturday's game against the Nuggets, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Garcia (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with Golden State.

Garcia joins a laundry list of Rockets injuries, as Dwight Howard, Terrence Jones, Isaiah Canaan and Kostas Papanikolaou are all slated to miss Wednesday's contest, while James Harden remains banged up with a back issue. Without Garcia, the Rockets will likely turn to Nick Johnson for extra minutes off the bench.

Garcia (calf) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Warriors, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.

Garcia sustained the injury Saturday against the Suns and did not return to the game. He'll see how it feels at Tuesday's practice, after which a decision on his status for Wednesday will likely be made. The veteran has stepped into an expanded role of late, given the Rockets' current injury woes, and had played at least 15 minutes in each of his last seven contests prior to the Phoenix game.

Garcia will not return to Saturday's game against the Suns due to a right leg/ankle injury, the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen reports.

Garcia is a bit player for the Rockets, but his absence will hurt their depth a bit. Houston is off until Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Garcia (illness) returned to action Friday against the 76ers. He scored zero points (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and grabbed two steals in 13 minutes of action.

This was only Garcia's third appearance of the season, and most of the games he missed were CD-DNPs. He does not play enough, nor does he contribute enough when he does play, to be on the fantasy radar for most managers.

Garcia (illness) did not play in Wednesday's game, and his status for Friday's game is unknown at this time.

Garcia missed practice with an illness Monday, but there have been no further reports on him to this point. Even when healthy, Garcia has played in just two games for the Rockets this season. When he is healthy enough to return, there's no guarantee he'll be in the rotation unless the Rockets suffer some injuries to their primary players.

Garcia (illness) did not practice Monday, Jenny Dial Creech of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Garcia, who has played in just two games this season, is dealing with flu-like symptoms and did not take part in Monday's session. How he feels Tuesday will likely determine whether he'll be available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves in Mexico City.

Garcia has come onto the court in just one game this season.

Garcia has only spent nine minutes on the court this season and the future isn't looking bright when considering the depth ahead of him. Most notably Kostas Papanikolaou is soaking up 24.7 minutes per game off the bench behind the starter Trevor Ariza. This has left virtually no time for Garcia who will likely come onto the court in limited fashion this season.

Garcia signed a one-year contract with the Rockets on Thursday, Fox Sports reports.

Garcia will likely play limited minutes off the bench for the Rockets in 2014-15, just like he did last season (19.7 minutes per game). On top of the low minute total, the 32-year-old was only able to play in 55 games a year ago and will consequentially have limited fantasy potential as a result.

Francisco Garcia is getting interest from the Rockets.

His agent said Garcia is looking to play for a championship-caliber team like Houston. The Jazz are also interested in Garcia, so Garcia probably won't be signing with them any time soon. He'll be a backup on the Rockets and would spend time on the wing.

The Jazz could look to add Francisco Garcia, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

They are reportedly looking to add a shooter or a point guard. If the Jazz do not add a shooter, it will serve as confidence in rookie Rodney Hood, who was impressive in summer league. Garcia probably wouldn't see significant minutes with Utah.

According to Chris Haynes, the Jazz, Hornets, Nets and Rockets are all interested in free agent swingman Francisco Garcia.

Garcia has proved to be a decent role player and is capable of the occasional big game, but there's no reason to think he'll be worth drafting in standard fantasy leagues, regardless of where he lands.

Francisco Garcia has opted out of his contract with the Rockets and will be an unrestricted free agent.

The move was expected and the Rockets have to be happy about Garcia opting out to give them more cap space. It's possible he will return, but the Rockets aren't going to be chomping at the bit to bring him back due to how often he misses games due to injury.

Francisco Garcia will not play vs. the Pelicans on Wednesday.

The Rockets are short on players tonight and we may get to see some serious run out of Troy Daniels and Omri Casspi. Garcia's DNP will likely be more precautionary than anything.

Francisco Garcia returned to action on Monday April 14.

Francisco Garcia (back) played 14 minutes against the Spurs on Monday with two points and three boards.

He missed Saturday's game due to a back injury and was a game-time call tonight. Garcia won't have much opportunity while Chandler Parsons and James Harden are active.
