Eason, 25, signed the extension as a restricted free agent. After the Rockets selected him 17th overall in the 2022 draft, Eason now heads into his fifth season with the team and a lot more money in his pocket.
The Washington native is coming off a season in which he averaged 10.5 points on 41% shooting (35% 3PT), along with 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
However, he stepped up further in the playoffs, averaging 13-6 with over two steals per game, including a 16-10 double-double and a 20-8-5 (steals) stat line in Game 4 against the Lakers.
