The Houston Rockets are gearing up for training camp, with forward Nate Hinton looking to secure a spot on the roster. Currently on an Exhibit 10 deal, Hinton's future with the team hinges on his performance during camp, especially after the unexpected retirement of AJ Griffin.
With an open roster spot available, Hinton will compete against other players, including two-way contracts, for a chance to remain with the Rockets. His familiarity with coach Ime Udoka could be an advantage, but the competition is fierce, and he may ultimately find himself in the G League.
