Center Steven Adams has agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension to remain with the Houston Rockets in the NBA, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal won’t become official until July.

Given that context, it's hard to call the Rockets '24/25 season anything but a huge success for the franchise. Houston won 52 games, its highest single-season total since the James Harden years, and held the No. 2 seed in a competitive Western Conference for much of the season, including from March 19 onward.
