    What's the deal with Wiltjer? Why is the not wearing a uniform since his return from the D League? I haven't read anything about any injuries and his name is never even mentioned during the games. Does anyone know?

    Probably on the inactive list. Only 13 players get to put on the uniforms

    They should have left him on the D League to get minutes and training if they don't even plan on playing him at all.

    Yes, it's a bit strange. Played his last Vipers game on the 9th and since then they've had 5 games. He should probably be player those I agree unless there's something we don't know like him nursing an injury.

    I appreciate Wiltjer's enthusiastic claps in suits and uni's... I'm serious.

    They probably wanted Wiltjer to get some practice time with the big club.

    Just gotta say he has a terrible taste in dressing. Hate those plaid looking suits with jeans he wears.

    Think he alternates the plaid with blue jacket. Not many choices unless someone offers to loan him more.

    Groupies are a lot better when you are with the NBA team vs the NBA dleague team. Morey just doing the young man a solid.

    The team hasn't been practicing; and yes, odd he's not gaining minutes in ViperVille. Perhaps being 'stashed' (in plain sight)?

    Maybe they keep him around to gain experience getting yelled at by Harden vicariously through Dekker.

    I wonder where Kyle Wiltjer stands in the All Time Houston Rockets Fan Attention to Minutes Played Ratio Ranking.
