Omri Casspi has reportedly reached a two-year agreement with the Houston Rockets, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski.

Casspi is the first Israeli-born first-round pick in NBA history, taken 23rd overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 2009 NBA Draft.

He played two seasons with the Kings before being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2011.

The 25-year-old spent his last two seasons with the Cavaliers.

Last season he averaged just 4.0 points and 2.7 assists per game in 43 games as an appendectomy kept him out for most of the season.

Casspi will be joining the Rockets just a day after it was reported Dwight Howard had signed a four-year deal with Houston.
