According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Rockets and Chris Clemons agreed to a three-year deal.
The Houston Rockets and two-way guard Chris Clemons have agreed to a three-year NBA deal, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Clemons ran out of two-way days and is now signing a full contract.

Clemons is the third player in the two-way era to a deal with the Rockets. He joins Gary Clark and Danuel House Jr. in that club.
Much like last season with Clark and House, Clemons was given an opportunity early to play on the NBA level and made the most of it, giving the Rockets no choice but to give him an NBA deal.
With Clemons graduating to the Rockets full-time, a two-way slot has opened for the Rockets, where they can now pursue other free agents to become part of the organization.
Clemons is averaging 4.8 points per game in 20 appearances this season.
Congrats Chris on your new contract!
