Houston Rockets' TyTy Washington Jr. Officially Leaves NBA for EuroLeague
Former Houston Rockets guard TyTy Washington Jr. has signed with French club LDLC ASVEL, marking his departure from the NBA after four seasons. The 24-year-old, drafted 29th overall in 2022, joins the EuroLeague side owned by ex-San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker. The Rockets, currently on a two-game losing streak after a 78-98 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers on May 2, 2026, will see Washington continue his career overseas.
What Happened in Washington’s NBA Career?
Washington’s NBA journey began with the Memphis Grizzlies before trades sent him to Minnesota, Houston, Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Milwaukee, Phoenix, and finally the Los Angeles Clippers. His most recent stint with the San Diego Clippers in the G League saw him average 21.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. Despite his potential, he struggled to secure a consistent role in the NBA.
Why the Move to Europe?
LDLC ASVEL, despite recent financial struggles, sees Washington as a key addition. The club praised his offensive skills, creativity, and ability to orchestrate plays. Washington will wear jersey number 3 and join former NBA players like Patty Mills and Jae Crowder. ASVEL aims to reclaim their French League title after a disappointing EuroLeague season where they finished last with just eight wins.
What’s Next for the Houston Rockets?
With Washington’s departure, the Rockets focus on rebuilding their roster. Their recent form shows three wins and two losses in the last five games, including back-to-back defeats.
