Sources- Stephen Silas won't return as Rockets coach

The Houston Rockets are declining to pick up the fourth-year option on coach Stephen Silas' contract, ending his three-year run leading the franchise's rebuild, sources told ESPN on Sunday.

Rockets general manager Rafael Stone and Silas are expected to meet on Monday morning and formalize the parting, sources said.

Silas is expected to become a prominent associate head coach/top assistant candidate on coaching staffs this offseason.
