The Rockets confirmed on Tuesday last week's report that they would pick up their option on point guard Goran Dragic's contract.

Dragic, acquired in a trade deadline deal with Phoenix for Aaron Brooks, will earn $2.1 million in the final season of his contract. He averaged 7.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 22 games with the Rockets.

He finished the season with four-consecutive games scoring in double figures, capped by his first career triple double with 11 points, a career-best 11 assists and a career-best 11 rebounds.
