Houston Rockets vs LA Clippers preview
The Rockets enter the Las Vegas Summer League with no rookies. Holding the 10th and the 59th picks in the 2025 NBA draft, the Rockets traded them both. Selecting Khaman Maluach as a lottery pick, Houston sent him to the Suns to acquire Kevin Durant and traded Jahmai Mashack to the Golden State Warriors.
Despite the lack of additions from the draft, the Rockets have a roster led by Reed Sheppard. The guard was selected as the third pick in the 2024 draft and impressed in last season's Summer League. During the regular season, he played 52 games, recording 4.4 points and 1.4 assists.
Meanwhile, the Clippers held two picks during the 2025 draft and selected Yanic Konan Niederhauser (30th) and Kobe Snaders (50th). They will be joined by Cam Christie, Kobe Brown and Jordan Miller, who were drafted by the Clippers between 2023 and 2024.
Although the Clippers will look to integrate their latest picks into their roster as quickly a possible, Brown will be their leading man for this game. The forward is the most experienced player on the roster, averaging 5.3 points last term, followed by Chrisite, who will look to increase his minutes in his sophomore year.
