The Houston Rockets have re-signed guard Jeenathan Williams to a two-way contract, according to the league’s official transaction log.
Williams spent the 2023/24 season with Houston on a similar deal. Per HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Rockets extended a two-way qualifying offer to Williams, making his return expected.
Last season, Williams played in 22 games for Houston, averaging 2.9 points. He also spent the end of the 2022/23 season with Portland, where he averaged 10.6 points in five games, starting four of them.
Additionally, Williams played in 11 games (10 starts) with Houston’s G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, where he averaged 16.3 points and 5.6 rebounds.
The Rockets also officially announced they’ve re-signed Jermaine Samuels and Nate Hinton, who, like Williams, spent last season on two-way deals.
Hinton appeared in 15 NBA games last year, averaging 2.2 points. In the G League, he played 37 games, averaging 13.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.
