Veteran guard Bonzi Wells plans to stick with the Houston Rockets during the 2007-08 season, his agent told a Houston television station on Saturday.

"Bonzi has sent in the necessary paperwork and he is opting in, and he will play for the Rockets this coming season," Bill Duffy told KRIV.

Even though Wells had signed a two-year contract with the Rockets, he could have opted out of the deal this offseason.

Rockets spokesman Nelson Luis told The Associated Press on Saturday night that the team hasn't received any paperwork so far from Wells.

New coach Rick Adelman's arrival raised the possibility of Wells' return to Houston. The temperamental Wells hardly played last season, sidelined with various injuries and a rift with coach Jeff Van Gundy.

But Wells had a productive 2005-06 season under Adelman in Sacramento and averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds in the playoffs.
