The Houston Rockets agreed to a deal with free agent guard Ben McLemore on Tuesday, the team announced.
The 26-year-old St. Louis native received a two-year contract that is partially guaranteed, The Athletic reported.
General manager Daryl Morey welcomed McLemore in a Twitter announcement.
Taken seventh overall in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings, McLemore has averaged 8.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game in six NBA seasons while shooting 41.7 percent from the floor. He has had two stints with the Kings, including last season, when he averaged only 3.9 in 19 games as a reserve.
After joining the Memphis Grizzlies on a two-year, $10.7 million deal when the Kings declined his option, he averaged 7.5 points and 2.5 rebounds over 56 games (17 starts) in the 2017-18 season.
