Mandatory Credit: Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images The Houston Rockets have reached an agreement with guard JD Davison, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.
Davison was selected by the Boston Celtics in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft. Over the past three seasons, he appeared in 36 total games for the franchise, averaging 1.9 points in 5.5 minutes per game.
However, the young guard made a big impression in the G League as a member of the Maine Celtics. Last season, he earned G League MVP honors, averaging 25.1 points, 7.5 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Behind Davison, Maine made a run to the Eastern Conference finals.
Despite his success, the Celtics waived the 22-year-old on July 24.
Davison will battle to make the Rockets' final roster. Houston's current backcourt options include Fred VanVleet, Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard, Josh Okogie and Aaron Holiday.
