The Houston Rockets have officially added a former Los Angeles Clippers guard to their roster ahead of training camp.
According to NBA.com’s transaction logs, the Rockets have signed Sean Pedulla to a two-way contract. Pedulla appeared in seven games for the Clippers last season and played for them in the 2026 NBA Summer League.
Michael Scotto of HoopsHype first reported Pedulla agreeing to join the Rockets to bring their current roster count to 19 players.
“The Houston Rockets and guard Sean Pedulla have agreed to a two-way deal, agent George S. Langberg of @GSLSportsGroup told @hoopshype. Pedulla was the NBA G League Rookie of the Year, averaging 23.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game in the G League last season,” Scotto tweeted.
The Rockets now have three players on two-way contracts, with Pedulla joining Tristen Newton and Quadir Copeland. They also have 12 players on standard contract, two on non-guaranteed deals and two on Exhibit 10s.

After three seasons at Virginia Tech, Sean Pedulla transferred to Ole Miss for the 2025-26 season. He declared for last year’s draft, but his name wasn’t called. He ended up signing for the Portland Trail Blazers for the Summer League before earning a contract for their G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix.
