In the NBA universe, a lot can happen in a week. That was certainly true for the Houston Rockets whose players cycled off and on the injured list.

Following a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Kings, Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka took a massive shot at Sacramento.

The Rockets seemingly understand this and have pushed themselves out of rumors, despite having a need at the point guard position. According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, Houston is uninterested in a trade and is unlikely to make a move for the Hawks' All-Star.

The Houston Rockets announced today the team has signed Tristen Newton to a two-way contract. In a related move, the Rockets have waived Tyrese Smith.  In September of 2025 Newton signed a two-way contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Houston previously had a WNBA team, the Comets, who won the league's first four championships but ultimately folded after the 2008 season.

Sengun is in the middle of what could be another All-Star season, averaging 21.8 points, nine rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Ime Udoka has frequently played him at the four, with Steven Adams at the five to make a double-big lineup, and it has paid dividends on both ends of the floor.
