Pops to become a Rocket

Pops Mensah Bonsu will formally sign his one-year contract with the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, sources have told me.

For him to play for Great Britain, insurance clearance would still be required via the NBA. While British Basketball officials have already put the wheels in motion, it will remain a race against time if the Londoner is to link up with Chris Finch's squad ahead of their switch to Warsaw on Saturday.
