After Chris Paul got hurt, they got the boost by signing in Austin Rivers after he was released by the Phoenix Suns. After recent injury of Clint Capela, Rockets scooped up Kenneth Faried after he was released by Brooklyn Nets.
Faried proved himself to be a valuable addition to the team after he scored 21 points and his season-high 14 rebounds on Friday night game of basketball between Houston Rockets VS Toronto Raptors which Rockets won by 121-119.
James Harden said, “The lift was a great gift. Kenneth managed to bring the energy to the team that we have been waiting for.”
