Free agent wing Dillon Brooks has agreed to a four-year, $80 million contract with the Houston Rockets, while the Rockets also signed free agent center Jock Landale to a four-year, $32 million deal. The Rockets are bolstering their roster with these signings, along with the addition of point guard Fred VanVleet, as they aim to improve under new head coach Ime Udoka. Brooks, known for his defensive skills, played for the Memphis Grizzlies for his entire career but was not re-signed due to his behavior and shot selection.

Booker and Durant shine as Suns take Game 3 against Nuggets.

The Phoenix Suns won Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets 121-114, with Devin Booker scoring a playoff career-high 47 points and Kevin Durant adding 39 points for the Suns. However, Deandre Ayton had a poor performance, scoring only four points on 2-of-6 shooting while Nikola Jokic put up an Optimus Prime triple-double of 28 points, 17 rebounds, and 17 assists. Jock Landale provided some resistance in more ways than one, and Ayton needs to step up his game in Game 4.
