Summary
The Houston Rockets are doubling down on stability, planning to keep their core roster and staff—including coach Ime Udoka and GM Rafael Stone—for the upcoming season. But their lead assistant, Royal Ivey, is heating up the coaching market, with the Dallas Mavericks reportedly eyeing him seriously for their head coach vacancy. Ivey’s rise was cemented by leading South Sudan to historic World Cup and Olympic appearances, and while other Rockets assistants like Ben Sullivan also drew interest, Ivey’s name is now front and center in one of the NBA’s most-watched coaching searches.
