Jalen Green open to Rockets extension. Here's why that's unlikely.

Jalen Green spent his first three NBA seasons with the Houston Rockets. He hopes to remain with the franchise into the next decade.

Green, the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NBA draft, recently addressed the prospect of a contract extension with the Rockets at the Jalen Green Youth Basketball Camp in Houston. Green said he "for sure" prefers to sign an extension with the Rockets before the 2024-25 season, which is currently the final year of his initial rookie deal. Green is happy with Houston's direction. Now with his second coach and a growing young core, perhaps the 22-year-old can become one of the franchise's marquee 21st century faces.
