Green was signed one week ago by the team and clearly performed well enough to earn a guaranteed contract before Sunday's deadline.
Over the last four games, Green has averaged 21 points per game and has shot particularly well (60 percent) from deep, a focal point of coach Mike D'Antoni's offense.
Green became even more valuable when guard James Harden was ruled out for at least two weeks with a hamstring issue. In the two games Harden missed so far, Green went on drop 56 points on 15-for-25 shooting from long range.
The Houston native has averaged 9.7 points, 1.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds over 10 seasons. The Rockets are also expected to waive guard Bobby Brown.
