The Rockets reached an agreement with guard Austin Rivers on Sunday, according to the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen. The deal is reportedly fully guaranteed through the 2018-19 season.
Rivers played 29 games with the Wizards in 2018-19 before being traded to the Suns on Dec. 17. The Suns then bought out Rivers' contract, making the seven-year veteran a free agent.
Houston sits seventh in the West at 17–15. The Rockets recently suffered a blow to their backcourt on Friday when the team announced Chris Paul will be re-evaluated in two weeks as he sits out due to a hamstring injury.
