SACRAMENTO (AP) — The Houston Rockets have acquired guard Jason Terry from the SacramentoKings for two second-round draft picks and guard/forward Alonzo Gee.

The Kings also received guard Scotty Hopson and a trade exception from Houston in the deal announced Wednesday.

The 37-year-old Terry started last season with Brooklyn and averaged only 4.5 points in 35 games. He was moved to Sacramento at the trade deadline and didn’t play the rest of the season as he recovered from a left knee injury.

Sharks sign D Braun to 5-year, $19 M extension: SAN JOSE (AP) — The San Jose Sharks have signed defenseman Justin Braun to a $19 million, five-year extension.

The deal announced Wednesday will keep Braun under contract through the 2019-20 season. Braun has one year remaining on his current contract.

Braun emerged as one of San Jose’s top defensemen last season, often drawing the most difficult matchups. He was second on the team in average time on ice per game (20:59), tied for first in short-handed ice time per game (2:11) and set career-highs for points (17), goals (4) and assists (13).

Braun also added two points (one goal, one assist) in seven Stanley Cup playoff games.

The Sharks open training camp Friday.
