Houston Rockets center Steven Adams has agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension to stay with the franchise, sources told ESPN on Saturday.

Rockets officials and Adams' agents at Wasserman negotiated the new, fully guaranteed contract, sources said.

Adams, who turns 32 next month, was slated to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. He was a significant priority for the Rockets after playing a key rotation and leadership role in Houston's first playoff run since 2020. Adams expressed a tremendous desire to stay with the Rockets long-term and Houston's front office matched the enthusiasm to reach an agreement Saturday.
