Nene agrees to deal with Houston Rockets

Free-agent center Nene has agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million deal with the Houston Rockets.

Nene, 33, will add to the Rockets’ frontcourt, complementing the free-agent additions of forward Ryan Anderson and guard Eric Gordon.

The Rockets still want to re-sign restricted free-agent power forward Donatas Motiejunas and find a backup point guard on the open market.
