HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets have signed free agent forward Luc Mbah a Moute.
This will be the second stint with the Rockets for Mbah a Moute, who played 61 games for Houston in the 2017-18 season.
The 33-year-old is a 12-year NBA veteran who has also played for the Bucks, Kings, Timberwolves and 76ers. He hasn’t played in the league since he was released by the Clippers in April 2019.
