VanVleet Stays in Houston for 2026-27 | Houston Rockets News

Fred VanVleet is staying with the Houston Rockets for the 2026-27 season, opting into his player option for $25 million — giving the team stability at point guard after a brutal playoff exit. His return is especially meaningful after missing last season with an ACL tear, during which he was sidelined but still delivered elite play before the injury — averaging 14 points and 6 assists while earning a $50M extension. With VanVleet back and rookie Reed Sheppard proving himself in all 82 games last year, Houston now has a dynamic backcourt duo. While a trade isn’t off the table, VanVleet’s commitment provides immediate clarity. He admits he initially downplayed the injury’s severity, but now he’s focused on full recovery for training camp — and the Rockets can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
