Rockets center Steven Adams averaged 5.7 points and 6.6 rebounds in the playoffs this season.

HOUSTON — Center Steven Adams agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension to remain with the Houston Rockets, according to multiple reports Saturday.

Adams, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent June 30, has been with the Rockets since a trade from Memphis in February 2024.

He missed the entire 2023-24 season while recovering from knee surgery before returning this season. He averaged 3.9 points and 5.8 rebounds in 58 regular-season games.

Adams became an important contributor in the playoffs, where he averaged 22.1 minutes per game with 5.7 points and 6.6 rebounds.

The 31-year-old from New Zealand has played in 11 NBA seasons and spent his first seven in Oklahoma City.
