Rockets will sign former Kings center for front-court depthThe Houston Rockets are expected to sign free-agent center Justin Williams to a 10-day contract to add front-court depth after the injury to Yao Ming. Guard/forward Bobby Jones' 10-day contract ends Thursday.

Williams, who formerly played for the Sacramento Kings, is due in Houston Thursday night, in time to be on the roster before the Rockets play the New Orleans Hornets on Saturday night. Williams, 6-10, 240, is considered a prolific rebounder and had 12 in 23 minutes against the Rockets last month. In 48 career games, he has averaged 3.4 points and 3.4 rebounds.

"He's an energy, athletic, shot-blocking kind of guy," Byron Irvin, Williams agent, said. "He will learn from someone like Dikembe (Mutombo). He is like a shorter Dikembe."
