Houston's blockbuster acquisition has been the clear star for the team as the Rockets rise in ESPN's latest NBA power rankings.

While there are reasons a Ja Morant trade to the Rockets make sense, there are also plenty of issues a deal would pose for Houston.

Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle sprain) rejoined the Rockets after missing Monday’s game, but backup center Steven Adams (hip flexor tightness) did not play.

The Houston Rockets are on the road on Wednesday night as they travel to take on the Memphis Grizzlies in a Western Conference matchup. After starting the season 0-2, the Rockets have won their last four games, including defeating the Dallas Mavericks in their last contest on Monday night.

The Memphis Grizzlies are back in action at home against the Houston Rockets. Follow along for live updates from The Commercial Appeal.

And for today's article, we will continue with the second of 14 players who wore the No. 0, forward alum Bobby Jones. After ending his college career at Washington, Jones was picked up with the 37th overall selection of the 2006 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Rockets, led by Kevin Durant’s 31-point performance, defeated the Raptors 139–121, ending a 52-year drought in the process.

It was believed that Houston’s 2025–26 offense would appear a little more conventional after adding Durant in the 2025 summer. However, VanVleet’s injury in September altered the strategy, and the Sengun-Adams combination is once again overcoming those seeming obstacles. Enter Steven Adams and the double big lineup.
