2026 Rockets will participate in the game with a 14-man roster: Okoji continues to strengthen the Rockets defensive line

The Rockets are interested in Josh Okogie's defense. The last place in the Houston Rockets in the new season was given to Okogie. The young forward is only 26 years old this year. He has been a teammate with Durant during the Suns. He played for the Charlotte Hornets last season. He is 196 cm tall and 96 kg, averaging 8.9 points and 1.8 steals per game. He was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 20th pick in the first round of 2018, and has played for the Timberwolves, Suns, Hornets and Rockets in his career.

After the Rockets signed Oakge with 3.1 million a year, they could no longer sign the 15th man in the salary space, so the Rockets will participate in the 2026 season with a 14-man roster in the early stage of the new season. The Rockets will focus on defense as the team's top priority. The team is united. Stone fully supports Rockets coach Uduka. Uduka uses Uduka's personnel-oriented approach to deploy troops and fully implement tactical arrangements. The "a skillful woman cannot cook without rice" will never happen to the Rockets.

After the efforts of the Rockets' management for a summer, Stone has been far-sighted and has laid out the overall blueprint for so many years. After soliciting Uduka's opinions, combined with the overall strength of the Houston Rockets and analyzing the situation of other teams in the league, the Rockets' management believes that it can enter the championship ranks in advance. We set the next goal of the Rockets' championship. We have successively introduced Kevin Durant, Finney Smith, "Piece King Capela" and Oakge. In this way, the Rockets determined the 14-man roster to meet the test of the 2026 season.
