Overview
- The Rockets finalized a two-way contract for Tyler Smith on Tuesday and released two-way guard/wing Kevon Harris.
- Smith, 21, was the Bucks’ No. 33 pick in 2024, saw limited NBA minutes as a rookie, and was waived in October before joining the Capital City Go-Go in the G League.
- He is expected to spend most of his time with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers under two-way rules, which allow him to be active for up to 38 NBA games this season.
- Houston’s move adds size to the back end of a 13–5 roster that has continued to tinker with depth options during a strong start.
- Harris, 28, had not appeared for the Rockets this season and was producing for the Vipers in the G League, averaging 19.4 points per game.
