The Houston Rockets announced the signing of free agent guard Josh Okogie on Tuesday. The team did not announce the terms, but reports classify the deal as one year for $3.1 million, fully guaranteed.
Okogie, 26, is a seven-year NBA veteran and former first-round pick by Minnesota (20th overall) in 2018. The wing played four seasons for the Timberwolves before signing with Phoenix in 2022. He played parts of three seasons with the Suns before being traded to Charlotte on Jan. 15, 2025.
In 416 career games, the Lagos, Nigeria, native has averaged 6.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game.
With the Suns and Hornets last season, Okogie put up career bests in field goal percentage (44.3) and 3-point percentage (34.8). He is regarded as an excellent on-ball defender, ranking fourth in the NBA in steals per 36 minutes (2.8) in 2024-25.
Okogie played for Nigeria in the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
