On April 10, 2023, the Houston Rockets fired head coach Stephen Silas after three rebuilding seasons with the team.[2] Two weeks later, the Rockets hired Ime Udoka as their new head coach, looking to contend for the playoffs.[3][4] After starting out 0–3 in October, the Rockets had a six-game winning streak to start out November.

The Rockets entered the month of March with a 27–34 record and stood at 11th place in the Western Conference. Despite losing breakout player Alperen Şengün to injury, the Rockets won 13 of their next 14 games, including an 11-game winning streak buoyed by career-best performances from star Jalen Green alongside one-time all-star Fred VanVleet and rookie Amen Thompson, which allowed them to rise to contention for the play-in tournament. Their improved 38–35 record had them trail the Golden State Warriors by one game back from the #10-seed, but afterwards the Rockets fell into a five-game losing streak as the Warriors went on a winning streak of their own, resulting in their elimination from playoff contention for the fourth consecutive season following an overtime loss to the Dallas Mavericks on April 7. The Rockets would finish the season with a 41–41 record, finishing with a non-losing season for the first time in four years.

Draft

edit
Round Pick Player Position Nationality College / Club
1 4 Amen Thompson Point guard   United States City Reapers
(Overtime Elite)
1 20 Cam Whitmore Small forward   United States Villanova (Fr.)

The Rockets entered the draft with two first round picks and no second round selections.[5] For their first pick at four, the Rockets selected point guard Amen Thompson from Overtime Elite's City Reapers team, being the organization's first ever draft pick entering the NBA. With their pick at 20, Houston selected small forward Cam Whitmore, who won the Big East Conference's Freshman of the Year Award for his only season at Villanova University. Before the draft, Whitmore was widely regarded to be a lottery pick with some projections placing him as high as fourth overall.[6][7][8][9]
