Reed Sheppard dominated last year's NBA Summer League. In four games, the No. 3 overall pick averaged 20 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks before being pulled from the lineup for the summer. The Houston Rockets had witnessed all they needed to see.

The Rockets are shutting down Sheppard for the remainder of the Las Vegas Summer League, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports. Sheppard was able to appear in two Summer League contests before Houston opted to shut him down.
