As Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green’s roots in the area dug deeper with Saturday’s Jalen Green Youth Basketball Camp, he said he would like to make that official with a contract extension. He added, however, that is not his immediate concern. Green and teammate Alperen Şengün became eligible for extensions with the Rockets this summer, with neither reaching agreements on new deals that could be worth as much as $224 million over five seasons. The deadline for extensions on rookie scale contracts for players drafted in 2021 is Oct. 21. “For sure,” Green said of his preference to agree to a long-term deal with the Rockets. “My main focus is the season ahead of me with the players that we have, go to the playoffs and go as far as we can. We’re building that team camaraderie, who we are. That’s the main focus right now, and everything will work itself out.”
