Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet has agreed to a two-year, $50 million contract to return to the franchise. The Rockets will decline VanVleet's $44.9 million team option for the upcoming season and negotiate a new deal with his agent, Rich Paul.
Wednesday, June 25, 2025 4:43PM Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet intends to sign a two-year, $50 million contract to stay with the franchise, with a player option in 2026-27, sources told ESPN.
VanVleet, 31, returns to a Rockets roster recently bolstered by the blockbuster trade for 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant. An immediate fit after signing a three-year deal with the team in the summer of 2023, VanVleet helped Houston improve from 22 wins to 41 in his first year. The Rockets then won 52 games to grab the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference this past season, ending a four-year postseason drought.
