Last season, in one of Daryl Morey’s final moves as the Houston Rockets general manager, the team signed David Nwaba to a unique contract. Nwaba had suffered an Achilles tear in December of 2019 and was promptly released by the Brooklyn Nets as he was in the final year of his contract.
The Rockets, with an eye on the future, saw an opportunity to add a talented player in need of a new home and signed Nwaba to a two-year contract.
