HOUSTON (AP) — According to a source familiar with the matter, Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun have both finalized contract extensions with the Houston Rockets, as reported on Monday.


Green, who was selected second overall in the 2021 NBA Draft, has secured a three-year extension worth $106 million. Meanwhile, Sengun, picked 16th in the same draft class, has signed a five-year extension valued at $185 million.

Sengun’s extension will also start next season and features a player option for the fifth year in 2029-30.
