In Photos: Jalen Green and Draya Michele enjoy colorful night at Houston exhibit after Rockets star's $106m extension
Jalen Green signed a three-year, $106 million extension with the Houston Rockets right before the start of the regular season. The Rockets star and his girlfriend, Draya Michele, celebrated with a visit to a colorful night at the Meow Wolf art exhibition center in Houston on Wednesday.
Although the art exhibition is not open to public yet, Green and his girlfriend got a special welcome from Meow Wolf, an interactive and immersive fantasy art exhibit. The couple posted a series of pictures and videos from their visit on social media.
In one of the posts on his Instagram story, Green DJed. He wore a printed jacket over a black T-shirt. In another video, he walked into the hallway with a camera following him.
Michele also made a series of posts on her IG story. In one of the videos that she shared, she posed for a picture on a bench with a wall full of art behind her.
"A million photo opportunities," she wrote in the caption.
In another post, she interacted with Green while checking out the art pieces.
"This place is sooooo cool," she wrote.
In her other story, she posted a video of an exhibit that was made completely from pool noodles.
Green is a star in Houston given how he performed in his last season. An early and certainly personal entry for the Rockets star is well-deserved.
The Meow Wolf in Houston will open to the public on Oct. 31.

The Houston Rockets rewarded Jalen Green for his amazing 2023-24 season. He ended last season on a strong note, although the Rockets missed the playoffs. His girlfriend, Draya Michele, couldn't be more happy for the Rockets star.
She reposted a post by NBA insider Shams Charania on her IG story that detailed his contract with the team.
"Congrats!!! Term short money lonnnnng," she wrote in the caption.
Green's rookie extension is the first of its kind. He is the first player in NBA history to sign a nine-figure deal in a 2-plus-1 rookie extension. His teammate from the same draft class, Alperen Sengun, also signed a five-year, $185 million extension on Monday.
Both Jalen Green and Sengun were crucial in almost reviving the Rockets since the James Harden era. Given both Green and Sengun are healthy and in their prime, the Rockets are banking on them as cornerstones for turning the franchise into a Western Conference contender.
