ESPN: Kings Sending Guard Jason Terry to the Rockets
Published at
Christopher Trotman/Getty Images(HOUSTON) — He may not be the player he used to be, but the Houston Rockets are rolling the dice on veteran guard Jason Terry. ESPN reports that the Sacramento Kings will send Terry to Houston.
While the deal is not yet officially completed, the Rockets will also receive two second-round draft picks from the Kings while they will send guard/forward Alonzo Gee to Sacramento.
The 36-year-old Terry began last season with the Brooklyn Nets but wound up being traded to the Kings right before the trade deadline. Because he was recovering from a knee injury, Terry never suited up for the Kings during his brief tenure there.
In 35 games this past season, Terry averaged a career-low 4.5 points and 1.6 assists per game.
He will likely be a reserve/backup guard to Patrick Beverley in Houston.
Gee is a five-year NBA veteran who will already be playing for his fourth team. This past season, he averaged 4.0 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.
