The Rockets' training camp, like that of other teams, will open at the end of September. But Jalen Green has decided to get a head start, we learn The Athletic. Indeed, the rear will organize a small training camp this week. With obviously a rule to follow, imposed by the NBA: no coach or member of the staff to supervise the players.
Among the teammates present, our colleague announces Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard, drafted in third position last June.
Jalen Green probably wants to start working collectively to build on the good things he did last season (41 wins for 41 losses). And also individually because the upcoming season will be important for him, as it is for Alperen Sengun.
The two youngsters, whose contracts expire in 2025, can hope for a five-year, $224 million contract extension this summer, but the Rockets don't seem eager to put that sum on the table. The Texans prefer to keep millions aside to jump at the opportunity if a superstar becomes a free agent. So they'll have to convince Houston during the upcoming season to offer them the maximum next summer.
