Lawson has played six seasons in the NBA, all with Denver. Last season he averaged 15.2 points and a career-high 9.6 assists over the course of 75 games, all starts.
The 27-year-old strengthens the backcourt for Houston, which made the NBA Western Conference finals, before falling to the eventual champions, the Golden State Warriors.
Lawson has been arrested twice this year on suspicion of driving under the influence and, according to his lawyer, currently is in a rehabilitation clinic in California.
