Ime Udoka (Houston Rockets)
June 2025
Ime Udoka has signed a long-term extension with the Houston Rockets that will pay him eight figures annually, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in the league after just his second season with the franchise.
Udoka led Houston to a 52-30 record and their first playoff berth since 2020, drastically improving defense and win totals. His continued progress prompted the front office to secure long-term continuity amid outside interest from teams like the Knicks.
