Marcus Smart is expected to leave the Los Angeles Lakers and join the Houston Rockets in NBA free agency after agreeing to a two-year contract worth $13 million, according to multiple reports. The New York Post and Yahoo Sports both report the agreement is for two years at $13 million, with the latter describing it as a deal that includes a player option for the second year. The Athletic adds performance context from Smart’s most recent season with the Lakers, noting he appeared in 62 games and averaged 9.3 points, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 steals. The reporting indicates Smart’s move is planned for the 2026–27 season, meaning he will not return to Los Angeles next year under the terms of the free-agent agreement. The sources collectively outline the key terms of the contract and summarize Smart’s statistical output with the Lakers, but do not provide additional details on his role or team-specific plans with Houston beyond the reported agreement.
