Joe Johnson commits to signing with Rockets
Joe Johnson has committed to signing with the Houston Rockets after his contract buyout from the Sacramento Kings was completed Saturday, league sources told ESPN.
Johnson, 36, is expected to clear waivers on Monday afternoon and will be eligible to sign immediately thereafter.
The Kings acquired the guard from the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team deal prior to the NBA trade deadline on Thursday.
Johnson had played a minor role off the bench for the Jazz this season, averaging 7.3 points and 3.3 rebounds. According to ESPN Stats & Information, he is 39 3-pointers shy of becoming the ninth player in NBA history with 2,000.
He has earned $214 million in his career -- fourth most among active players, behind Dirk Nowitzki, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
