Rockets agree to 3-year, $10.9M deal with Nene

Veteran center Nene has agreed to re-sign with the Houston Rockets on a three-year deal for $10.9 million.

The Rockets were not allowed to give Nene a fourth year on the deal because his 38th birthday would extend past his fourth year, which would violate the Over 38 rule.

Nene, 34, averaged 9.1 points and 4.2 rebounds in 17.9 minutes per game last season, shooting a career-best 61.7 percent from the floor.
