Clemons has appeared in 20 games for the Rockets this season. He's averaging 4.8 points while shooting 43.0 percent from the field, 39.1 percent from beyond the arc and 75.0 percent from the free-throw line.
Clemons is only the second player in NBA history to come out of Campbell University. He finished his college career third on the NCAA Division I all-time scoring list with 3,225 points and is one of only 10 players in NCAA D1 history to reach 3,000 career points. Clemons owns 49 school records at Campbell University.
The Rockets lost to the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day. It was a loss no one in Houston saw coming since the Warriors are one of the worst teams in the league this season. The Rockets dropped to 21-10 on the season. They are in the fourth spot in the Western Conference standings.
Houston will look to get back in the win column on Saturday when they host the Brooklyn Nets, who are still without superstar point guard Kyrie Irving. Expect James Harden and Russell Westbrook to come out aggressive.
