The Houston Rockets announced their mini-camp roster for the NBA 2K25 Summer League 2024 in Las Vegas. The summer tournament will run from July 12 to 22.
NBA Summer League is almost here! The NBA 2K5 Summer League 2024 will kick off on July 12 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the Houston Rockets have released their full roster.
Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, the Rockets swingman Brooks, who is playing for Team Canada at this year’s Olympics, was asked about the upcoming matchup against Team USA.
The Houston Rockets made two moves yesterday regarding their Summer League roster. Many teams have their rosters completed or near-completed, but Houston had just six players rostered before two signings.
This offseason, the Houston Rockets made it a point of emphasis to avoid making that same mistake, as they drafted the best shooter in the 2024 NBA Draft class- Kentucky's Reed Sheppard.
The Houston Rockets have yet to make their roster for the 2024 Summer League tournament official. As a result, general manager Rafael Stone and coach Ime Udoka are still working through the details.
Houston Rockets general manager Rafael Stone once called Usman Garuba "the best defender in the world, outside of the NBA." Unsurprisingly, the Rockets drafted Garuba with the 23rd pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
Houston Rockets news: It comes as no surprise that there’s an overwhelming hype surrounding Team USA and their quest for a gold medal in the upcoming Olympics.
Jabari Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson will be part of the 2024 Select Team for USA Basketball. As members of the select group, the Houston Rockets duo are practicing alongside Team USA ahead of their departure for the Paris Olympics.
Houston Rockets forward Amen Thompson finished an impressive rookie season, being an effective two-way player coming off the bench. The 21-year-old out of the Overtime Elite League averaged 9.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 62 games, while the Rockets nearly made the Play-In Tournament at 41-41.
The Houston Rockets announced Saturday afternoon that point guard Aaron Holiday has been re-signed. As first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic on July 1, the Rockets and Holiday have agreed to a two-year deal.
The 2024 offseason wasn't anything similar to last year's offseason, at least for the Houston Rockets. In fact, it's been quite the opposite. Last year, the Rockets mad a major splash in free agency, shelling out over $200 million to Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks, while also making Ime Udoka the highest-paid coach in team history.
The Houston Rockets' defensive emphasis last summer came at the expense of offense and shooting. This indirectly turned Aaron Holiday into a makeshift shooter, which wasn't quite the plan.
The Houston Rockets still have room to improve this offseason, should they choose to do so. Last season, the Rockets posted a 41-41 record, good for the No.
NBA Free agency has come before us. The Houston Rockets were expected to make significant moves to make a dramatic push to playoff contention. General manager Rafael Stone has been rather hesitant pulling the trigger to acquire an All-Star or two to bolster their roster, a style of managing he’s been holding onto since February last season.
The Houston Rockets won 41 games in the 2023–2024 season and showed plenty of flashes to keep their fans optimistic about the upcoming year. Houston’s front office has their work cut out for them this offseason, and the team must make strategic additions in free agency to continue building out their roster as they look to take the next step.
Troubles all around, but not in Rockets Town. The Houston Rockets enter the Summer League portion of 2024 with few clouds on the horizon. The Rockets were a .500 team last season, with the point differential (+1.9) of a team that was better than that.
The Houston Rockets haven't made any major moves this offseason, but they have the room to do so. The organization brought back Aaron Holiday, Nate Hinton, Jermaine Samuels, and Jeenathan Williams on a combined five-year, $13.6 million total salary.
The Rockets only had one draft pick this year and they elected to select Reed Sheppard out of Kentucky. Houston was one of the worst teams in the league in 3-point percentage so they ended up drafting one of the top shooters in the whole draft.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are reaching into the NBA's not-so-distant past for their next assistant coach.
When James Harden left the Houston Rockets, it seemed like the team would be on a long rebuild back to relevance. They didn’t have the most exciting team without the mercurial guard orchestrating the offense.
He is the highest pick in this year’s draft thus far to sign his rookie deal.
Former Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard is the newest member of the Houston Rockets after being selected No. 3 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. He was the first traditional college basketball player to be selected after Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr went first and second, respectively.
After spending his first three NBA seasons in Indiana, he has bounced around the league in recent years.
While it would make sense for the Rockets to stand pat and let its young core blossom, a report from ESPN suggests that the franchise isn't willing to exercise as much patience.
