HOUSTON — Former Knick Marcus Camby signed a free-agent contract with the Rockets yesterday.
It is the second stint for Camby in Houston after he played for the Rockets in 2012. The 39-year-old played 19 games for the Rockets that season and averaged 7.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.53 blocks.
He was shipped to the Knicks by the Rockets in a sign-and-trade in July 2012 and appeared in 24 games for the Knicks last season.
The 6-foot-11 Camby was traded to the Raptors on July 10 and waived on July 17.
He joins a team that has superstar center Dwight Howard, Houston’s major free-agent pickup, and last year’s starting center Omer Asik.
