Former New York Knick Tyson Chandler will be playing with Mike D’Antoni again.

The free-agent center, who will be entering his 19th NBA season, agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Rockets on Friday, according to an ESPN.

The 36-year-old Chandler spent most of last season with the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he averaged 5.6 rebounds and 3.1 points in 16.4 minutes per game.

Chandler — who played under D’Antoni in the 2011-12 season, the first of his three years with the Knicks — is known for his defense, rebounding and strong locker room presence. Chandler’s presence around the rim could come in handy for the Rockets who now have two ball-dominant players in James Harden and Russell Westbrook.

The veteran Chandler has averaged 8.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game during his long career.
