After being drafted out of Georgia Tech with the 20th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, Okogie spent his first four NBA seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
He signed with the Phoenix Suns and stayed in the desert until being traded to the Charlotte Hornets during the 2024-25 season.
In his 15 appearances with the Hornets last season, Okogie averaged career highs in both points per game (8.9) and steals per game (1.8).
The Rockets’ 15th roster spot has been a point of speculation since the team waived Nate Williams during the NBA 2K26 Summer League. Now, that spot has been filled.
