“I was a senior in high school when I came here after (Hurricane) Katrina,” Augustin said. “I didn’t get a chance to go to a lot of games. Then, I went off to college. My early years in the NBA, when I was with Charlotte, we didn’t make the playoffs, so I was home here early. This is when the Rockets were in the playoffs, playing Portland. Aaron Brooks was the point guard at the time. Great atmosphere, just a great energy. To be a part of this now, it means a lot to me.”
“Coming in being in this position with a team that lost a lot of games, losing seasons, I’ve been a part of that,” Augustin said. “I’ve also been a part of winning teams and teams that won a lot of games. Knowing what I’ve been through, trying to bring that leadership here, try to keep guys together through these rough times. Hopefully, we can turn things around before the season ends.”
Cayleigh Griffin: Coach Silas confirms that DJ Augustin and DJ Wilson WILL be available tonight.
PJ Tucker to Milwaukee
Adrian Wojnarowski: Sources: Houston is trading PJ Tucker, Rodions Kurucs and Bucks’ 2022 first-round pick back to Milwaukee for DJ Augustin, DJ Wilson and 2023 unprotected first-round pick. Houston also gets right to swap its 2021 second-round pick for Milwaukee’s FRP pick unless it falls 1-9.
