The Houston Rockets have officially signed veteran center Steven Adams to a three-year contract extension worth $39 million. The deal, confirmed by the team, comes after Adams re-signed with the Rockets following a successful season with the franchise. In 58 games, he averaged 3.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in a limited role. Notably, he showcased his rebounding prowess by ranking second in the NBA for offensive rebounds per 36 minutes played.

Adams' contract is fully guaranteed and does not feature any player or team options. The structure is front-loaded, allowing the Rockets to manage their salary cap as they plan for future extensions for their young core. By 2027-28, Adams' salary will decrease to $11.9 million, potentially providing flexibility for the team’s finances.
