Report: Rockets to Sign Former Clippers Guard Austin Rivers

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.
