"We are proud to once again honor our many fans in China by wearing uniforms in recognition of their cultural celebration," Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander said in a news release.

The Warriors and Washington Wizards will reportedly also have custom uniforms. They, along with the Rockets, became the first NBA teams to wear Chinese New Year uniforms last season.
