Houston agreed to a one-year contract with wing Bogdan Bogdanovic on Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed. Financial terms were not immediately available.<\/p>\n
Bogdanovic, who will turn 34 in August, is a career 38.1% shooter from 3-point range and should provide much-needed floor-spacing for the Rockets. Bogdanovic stands just 6-foot-5 but boasts a 6-11 wingspan, which should allow him some positional versatility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The biggest question for the veteran is health. He played just 23 games last season and 54 the year before that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He played a career-high 79 games for the Atlanta Hawks in the 2023-24 season. He averaged a career-best 16.9 points per game and shot 37.4% from deep on a whopping 8.1 attempts per game. He finished fifth in the Sixth Man of the Year voting that season.<\/p>\n
He could be a valuable bench scorer for the Rockets if he can stay on the court \u2014 which will depend on his health but also general mobility as an older player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Houston agreed to a one-year contract with wing Bogdan Bogdanovic on Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":356842,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-356841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=356841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/356842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=356841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=356841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=356841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
