The Los Angeles Clippers sent former Kentucky guard John Wall back to the Houston Rockets in a three-team trade today.
The Clippers acquired Denver Nuggets point guard Bones Hyland and shooting guard Eric Gordon from the Houston Rockets in separate deals, according to ESPN.
Here are details from ESPN:
The Clippers are sending second-round picks in 2024 and 2025 for Hyland, sources said. Gordon is involved in a three-team trade that has the Memphis Grizzlies receiving Luke Kennard for three second-round picks to the Clippers while Danny Green is heading from Memphis to Houston.
John Wall is headed back to Houston as well with the Rockets also acquiring the rights to swap the Bucks’ first-round pick they own with the Clippers’ first-round pick in the upcoming draft, sources said.
The Clippers are also improving their frontcourt depth, acquiring center Mason Plumlee from the Charlotte Hornets for point guard Reggie Jackson, sources said.

The thought from pretty much everyone is that the Rockets are planning to buy Wall out, which will make him a free agent.
