The Houston Rockets today announced they have signed center Steven Adams to a contract extension. The contract extension is, reportedly for 3 years, $39 million. Adams was originally acquired via trade with Memphis on February 1, 2024, but made his debut with the Rockets this past season.
In 58 games with three starts with Houston in 2024-25, Adams averaged 3.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 13.7 minutes per game. From the start of December, he ranked second on the team in plus/minus rating (+189).
Last season, Adams ranked second in the NBA in rebounds per 36 minutes played (14.8 per) of players with at least 15 games played. He also averaged 7.5 offensive boards per 36 minutes played, which is the highest in a season by any player in NBA history with 40-plus games played.
Dating back to 1996-97, the Rockets were the third team to have a total rebounding differential of 500 or better in a season. Adams also played for the other two teams (Oklahoma City in 2015-16 and Memphis in 2021-22).
