Tyler was waived by the Rockets on Friday, Jenny Dial Creech of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Tyler has signed a training camp deal with Houston, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Jeremy Tyler is expected to start against the Celtics on Wednesday. With Amare Stoudemire (rest) and Tyson Chandler, The Knicks are out of options at center for the most part. On Monday without Chandler and STAT on the bench, Tyler played center for every other possession except for the last 43 seconds of garbage time. That playing time went to Cole Aldrich, who should get in the mix tonight and possibly start so coach Mike Woodson has something off the bench. In the small sample size, Tyler has been effective in pick and roll and has been solid in scoring on the offensive glass. He's far from a sure thing, but he has a chance to eclipse his season high of 23 minutes tonight.

Jeremy Tyler put up his first double-double of the season on Friday with 12 points, 11 boards, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes. It's the second double-double of his career with his first coming during his rookie season back in 2011-12. Tyler picked up some garbage time, but the good news is he's coming around and is actually developing some moves in the low post. If the Knicks suffer another injury, he'll be on the radar in some formats.

Jeremy Tyler has been recalled from the D-League BayHawks. Tyler was sent down on Wednesday as a way to get him some more practice time during the Knicks' off day and will now rejoin the team on Thursday. Tyler is coming off his best game of the year during Tuesday's blowout win over Boston and, while those number were inflated by garbage time, he could provide some value for fantasy owners in deeper leagues if he is able to secure the backup center role behind Tyson Chandler.

Jeremy Tyler scored a season-high 17 points to go along with five rebounds and two blocks on 7-of-9 shooting in 21 minutes off the bench on Tuesday. He benefitted from some garbage time in the blowout, but had eight points and five rebounds against the Bobcats on Friday. It looks like he might have secured the backup center job with this performance, so owners in deeper leagues might want to take notice.

Jeremy Tyler scored a season-high eight points against the Bobcats during Friday's 125-96 win to go with five boards, one assist, one steal and two blocks. He didn't look bad tonight and even caught an alley-lop from J.R. Smith. Tyler has some talent, but he's a bit of a mistake-prone guy and it will limit his minutes. He can be ignored in most leagues.

Jeremy Tyler played 14 minutes against the Clippers on Friday with six points and two boards. He made all three of his shots from the field and upped his season shooting percentage to a robot 80.0 percent. Tyler will be in the rotation while the Knicks are missing Kenyon Martin and Amare Stoudemire, but he's only an option in very deep leagues.

Jeremy Tyler is likely to rejoin the Knicks' rotation. With Amare Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin set to miss at least a couple games, Tyler stands to inherit some minutes backing up Tyson Chandler and Andrea Barnagni. The third year player is only averaging 2.8 minutes per game in January, however, so his fantasy value is limited to deeper leagues as he still may not see more than 10-12 minutes as an injury fill-in.

Mike Woodson won't commit to play newly-signed center Jeremy Tyler, who is behind Tyson Chandler, Andrea Bargnani, Amare Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin on the depth chart. "How much will [Tyler] play right now, I don't know," Woodson said. "He's got to get up to speed on what we're doing." Tyler is a non-entity for fantasy purposes, and he's unlikely to be more than a deep-league option even if a few injuries strike down guys above him in the rotation.
