Associated Press
HOUSTON - Forward Casey Jacobsen, who has spent the past year playing in Europe, said Monday he has reached a one-year contract agreement with the Houston Rockets.
Jacobsen told Houston television station KRIV that he would take a physical on Tuesday and that the agreement is only partially guaranteed.
The Rockets could not confirm an agreement with Jacobsen Monday night.
Jacobsen said he looked forward to playing for Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy.
"Jeff Van Gundy has a reputation of outworking others and it's going to be great playing with him," he told KRIV.
Jacobsen was the Phoenix Suns' top pick in the draft four years ago. He also has played for the New Orleans Hornets. In three seasons in the NBA, he has averaged 5.9 points per game.
