The Houston Rockets announced the signing of Oscar Tshiebwe, a 6-foot-9 forward/center, with contract terms undisclosed. Tshiebwe, 26, has appeared in 49 NBA games, averaging 7.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in about 15 minutes per game, after spending time with Indiana and Utah on two-way deals. He is renowned for rebounding excellence, including standout G League numbers and tying for the NCAA lead in rebounding during his Kentucky years, where he also earned unanimous National Player of the Year honors. The Rockets view him as depth behind their core big men, with potential role on a standard or two-way deal, depending on how camp battles shake out and roster construction. Some reports suggest the contract could be non-guaranteed given Houston’s cap situation, and Tshiebwe’s path to a regular roster spot may hinge on his camp performance and team needs.
