Former Rockets former player joined the Rockets management! He played for more than 10 teams in his career and played for the Rockets twice

On June 6, 2025, the NBA Finals are about to begin. In addition to the news on the field, a piece of news about the Rockets under the field has also attracted the attention of many people. According to Rockets reporter Kelly Iko, several sources revealed that former NBA player and former player DJ Augustine will join the Rockets to serve as the team's management position.

As an experienced defender, Augustine was already in the late stages of his career when he was with the Rockets. As a point guard in the post-Harden era, he also provided a lot of game experience to young players, and he left a deep impression on the fans on the court.

As the ninth pick in 2008, he has played for more than 10 teams in his career, namely the Bobcats, Pacers, Raptors, Bulls, Pistons, Thunder, Nuggets, Magic, Bucks, Rockets and Lakers, and is one of the "homes" in the league. Played for the Rockets in the 2021-2022 season and returned briefly in 2023. He played 54 games for the Rockets, averaging 17.1 minutes per game, scoring 7.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists, which can be said to be a conscientious person.

Perhaps it was because he had played for the Rockets for a while that he had the opportunity to serve on the Rockets. For the Rockets, such an experienced and high-ranking player should not be a bad thing to take up the team's management position. I wish Augustine can continue to shine in her new position and contribute to the Rockets.
