The Houston Rockets have secured their short-term future by extending contracts for two key players, Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green. The extensions will keep both players with the team through at least 2025-2026. Sengun's deal is worth $185 million over five years, while Green's contract is valued at $106 million over three seasons. Both deals include player options for the final year of each agreement. This move likely prevents the Rockets from accessing cap space this summer and shifts focus to their "Core 7" prospects.
