Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green has just over a month remaining to reach an agreement on a rookie scale extension. Green is hopeful of staying with the Rockets long-term but is more focused on the team having a successful season.
“For sure,” Green said when asked if he’d like to extend with Houston. “My main focus is the season ahead of me with the players that we have, go to the playoffs and go as far as we can. We’re building that team camaraderie, who we are. That’s the main focus right now, and everything will work itself out.”
The Rockets may choose to let Green, and fellow extension-eligible player Alpern Sengun, hit restricted free agency instead of signing them to extensions. This could allow Houston to create cap space for use in free agency in the summer of 2025.
As for Green, he’s hoping the Rockets can build on a strong finish to last season.
“We went out last season with a bang,” Green said. “We’re all on the same page, know what it takes to win. We know what we can do if we play hard. I think we know what we have to do going into this season from the beginning to the end, so hopefully, that leads us into the playoffs.”
