According to well-connected NBA insider Shams Charania, the veteran guard has agreed to a one-year deal with the Texas franchise as a free agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Houston&#8217;s front office held key discussions with Bogdanovi\u0107 and successfully convinced him to join the team&#8217;s project. The Rockets were looking for an experienced shooter and identified the Serbian star as the ideal addition. Next season will mark Bogdanovi\u0107&#8217;s milestone 10th campaign in the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bogdanovi\u0107 brings a wealth of experience to Houston, gained during his time with Partizan, Fenerbah\u00e7e, the Sacramento Kings, the Atlanta Hawks, the Los Angeles Clippers, and, of course, the Serbian national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Free agent Bogdan Bogdanovic has agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Rockets, sources tell ESPN. Rockets executives recruited Bogdanovic tonight and now land an established, playoff-tested shooter for his 10th NBA season. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U68eAXWswS\">pic.twitter.com\/U68eAXWswS<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/2072168611825721852?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 1, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Clippers exercised their option to part ways with Bogdanovi\u0107. Just a day later, reports emerged that veteran Tim Hardaway Jr., who plays the same position as Bogdanovi\u0107, had left the Denver Nuggets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many believed the pieces were falling into place for Bogdanovi\u0107 to finally team up with fellow Serbian superstar Nikola Joki\u0107 at the club level. However, despite widespread speculation and the excitement among basketball fans in Serbia, that move never materialized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bogdanovi\u0107 has already completed nine NBA seasons, and the chances of him returning to Europe this summer were always considered slim, as spending one more year in the league secures him the maximum NBA pension benefits. By signing with the Houston Rockets, that question has now been settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-karadordevics-awoke-the-diaspora-in-chicago-serbia-should-return-to-its-tradition-to-be-a-monarchy-again-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE KARA\u0110OR\u0110EVI\u0106S AWOKE THE DIASPORA IN CHICAGO: \u201cSerbia should return to its tradition, to be a monarchy again!\u201d (VIDEO)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbian-among-the-victims-in-a-plane-crash-skydiving-instructor-filip-kovacevic-killed-in-an-accident-in-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SERBIAN AMONG THE VICTIMS IN A PLANE CRASH: Skydiving instructor Filip Kova\u010devi\u0107 killed in an accident in France!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/if-he-does-not-give-up-he-is-going-to-the-cemetery-kokeza-hired-criminals-to-attack-nemanja-vidic-scandalous-messages-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cIF HE DOES NOT GIVE UP, HE IS GOING TO THE CEMETERY\u201d: Kokeza hired criminals to attack Nemanja Vidi\u0107, scandalous messages revealed!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/great-initiative-from-england-how-to-most-easily-teach-your-children-in-the-diaspora-to-write-and-read-cyrillic-photo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">GREAT INITIATIVE FROM ENGLAND: How to most easily teach your children in the diaspora to write and read Cyrillic!
