Rockets officially announce 2022-23 training camp roster
With 2022-23 training camp starting Tuesday at McNeese State University’s Legacy Center in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the Houston Rockets announced their official roster for the new season.
Practices will continue throughout the week before preseason play begins with a home opener on Sunday, Oct. 2 versus San Antonio.
The roster is at its offseason maximum of 20 players. But prior to the Oct. 19 start of Houston’s regular season, the Rockets must trim the roster to 15 players plus two two-way contracts.
Earlier reports stated the three players acquired from Dallas in the Christian Wood trade in June — Marquese Chriss, Trey Burke, and Sterling Brown, who were largely acquired for salary matching purposes — were not in Houston’s plans this season. However, all three are part of the initial camp roster. Potential salary matching in another trade(s) is one plausible reason, since any new player signed to those spots would not be trade eligible until midseason.
Whenever cuts are made, those three could be the starting point. For now, here’s what the roster looks like.
