Thornton has averaged 12.7 points and shot 36.2 percent from 3-point range during his six-year NBA career.

He played for the Boston Celtics and the Phoenix Suns last season. The Miami Heat also showed strong interest in Thornton.

The 28-year-old will add some scoring punch for the Rockets behind one of the NBA’s most feared scorers in shooting guard James Harden.
