The Houston Rockets have agreed to a five-year, $122 million contract extension with forward Jabari Smith Jr., starting in the 2026-27 season. This follows a successful season where the Rockets reached the second seed in the Western Conference and have made other significant moves, including acquiring Kevin Durant and extending several key players. The extension solidifies Smith Jr.'s place within the team's long-term plans as they aim to contend for a championship.
