HOUSTON (AP) — Two people familiar with the decision say Stephen Silas won’t return as coach of the Houston Rockets next season. Silas wrapped up his third season with the team when the Rockets beat the Wizards 114-109 to finish the season 22-60. His contract had a fourth-year option that the team is declining to pick up, according to two people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move hadn’t been announced. One of the people said the 49-year-old Silas could remain with the team in an undetermined role.
