Rockets: Signed C Rafael Castro to a two-way contract.

The Houston Rockets continue to solidify a season that has seen them post a 52–30 record, sit at No. 5 in the Western Conference, and rank sixth in overall power metrics. With a recent nine‑win‑out‑of‑ten stretch and a net rating of +5.2, the team is riding a one‑game winning streak as it looks to maintain its position near the top of the West.

Adding center Rafael Castro on a two‑way contract gives the Rockets additional depth at the frontcourt. Castro will split his time between the NBA roster and the Rockets’ G‑League affiliate, providing a developmental option that could be useful as the team navigates injuries or rotation adjustments later in the season.
