The 23-year-old guard will become a restricted free agent after the 2026-27 season.
Amen Thompson is heading into a contract year with the Houston Rockets. The 23-year-old guard, who averaged 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists across 79 starts this past season, will reach restricted free agency in the summer of 2027.
Thompson has been a cornerstone of the Rockets' backcourt since his draft entry two years ago, playing heavy playoff minutes through Houston's postseason run. His upcoming year will carry significant weight for both sides in determining a long-term financial commitment.
