Tarik Black: Signs deal with Rockets

The terms of the contract have not yet been disclosed, but Black will return to
Houston, where his NBA career began in 2014-15. Since that 25-game stint with
the Rockets, Black has developed into a very capable reserve big man, compiling
averages of 5.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 67 games (16 starts) for the Lakers
last season. As the roster currently stands, Black projects to back up Clint
Capela and Nene at center, and he could also see time at power forward in more
defense-oriented lineups.
