The Houston Rockets fought and clawed their way through a seven-game playoff series with the Golden State Warriors. Although they ultimately fell in Game 7, the contributions of Fred VanVleet were instrumental in keeping them in the fight.
But how instrumental does the Rockets' organization feel VanVleet will be to the future of the organization?
The Rockets had up until Friday to make that decision, but according to ESPN's Shams Charania, the team and VanVleet mutually agreed to push back the deadline date to June 29 on his $44.9 million team option for the 2025-26 season.
