Isaiah Crawford, the last remaining two-way restricted free agent on the market, has officially re-signed with the Rockets, the team announced in a press release.
While the team didn’t disclose the terms of the agreement, the NBA’s transaction log indicates it’s a standard contract rather than another two-way deal. According to David Weiner of ClutchFans.net (Twitter link), it will cover four seasons and will be non-guaranteed, with a team option on the final year.
Crawford, 24, went undrafted out of Louisiana Tech in 2024 and spent his rookie season on a two-way deal with Sacramento before signing a two-way contract with Houston last July. The 6’6″ small forward has made 29 total appearances at the NBA level but has played just 4.8 minutes per game. He averaged 2.0 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.6 minutes per contest across 14 outings for the Rockets last season.
Although he hasn’t seen much action at the NBA level, Crawford has been productive in the G League. In 20 appearances in 2025/26 for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, he contributed 19.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 2.1 steals in 34.7 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .515/.392/.655.
The Rockets, who issued Crawford a two-way qualifying in June to make him a restricted free agent, could technically have given him more than the veteran’s minimum using his Non-Bird rights. But I expect he’ll be earning his minimum salary, which would result in a four-year total of about $11.27MM, including a starting salary of $2.45MM.
The signing technically pushes Houston into luxury tax territory, per Yossi Gozlan of CapSheets, but waiving JD Davison and his non-guaranteed salary and then re-signing him – or a new 14th man – to a new minimum contract would allow the team to sneak under that threshold.
While there are no two-way restricted free agents still unsigned with Crawford now off the board, there are still four standard RFAs seeking new deals: Jalen Duren, Peyton Watson, Bennedict Mathurin, and Spencer Jones.
