The 2022-23 Houston Rockets season was a foundational year focused on the development of a promising young core, highlighted by the arrival of third overall pick Jabari Smith Jr. and the continued growth of Jalen Green, who led the team with 22.1 points per game. Under head coach Stephen Silas, the team showcased its resilience and potential by finishing the season on a high note with a three-game winning streak, concluding with a 22-60 record. The campaign was further distinguished by the durable performances of Tari Eason and Kenyon Martin Jr., who both appeared in all 82 games, and the emergence of Alperen Sengun as a versatile double-double threat in the paint.
