Pump the brakes on Nene's return to the Rockets.

It was initially reported - by Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle - that the Rockets and Nene had agreed on a new for-year contract worth $15 million. However, because of the league's over-38 rule, the terms of the deal were changed to a three-year contract worth just under $11 million, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.

The over-38 rule prevents players from signing long-term deals that will still be active when the player turns 38. Nene is currently 34.

Not happy about this change in the deal, Nene is now back at "square one" in free agency, according to ESPN's Marc Spears.

As it currently stands, Nene isn't interested in signing the three-year, $10 million dollar deal with Houston, per Spears.

At the moment, free agent center Nene is not interested in re-signing to a three-year, $10 million deal with the Rockets. Market back open. https://t.co/ndRx4oqBgz — Marc J. Spears (@MarcJSpearsESPN) July 1, 2017

The market is now back open for the veteran center.
