Rox Pick Up Brooks' Contract Option

HOUSTON, TX -- The Houston Rockets announced they have picked up the option on guard Aaron Brooks. Brooks was drafted by the Rockets in the 2007 NBA Draft (26th overall).

If you saw the Rockets - Grizzlies game last night and witnessed Luther Head running the offense, you saw how important Brooks is to the Rockets' second unit.

Luther Head is not a point guard; and, with Brooks missing last night's game due to a bone bruise, Luther's time at the point bogged down the Rockets' offense.

Brooks wore a boot last night; but, he's playing in tonight's game versus the Dallas Mavericks.
