The Rockets will sign guard R.J. Hunter, a first-round draft pick of the Boston Celtics in 2015, to a two-way contract on Sunday, a person with knowledge of the team's plans said on Saturday.
Hunter has averaged 19.2 points in 29.8 minutes on 43.2 percent shooting with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Rockets G League affiliate, this season.
Hunter will be able to have up to 22 days with the Rockets before they would have to convert his contract to a standard NBA contract if they wish to keep him with the team, rather than in the G League.
