America’s favorite Goldfish pitchman is staying right where he is.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Sunday that veteran big man Boban Marjanovic is returning to the Houston Rockets on a one-year deal. The 7-foot-4 Marjanovic had officially been a free agent this offseason but is now coming back for his second season in Houston.

At 35 years old, Marjanovic is still very much a bit player. He only averaged 3.3 points and 1.9 rebounds in 5.5 minutes per contest last season for the Rockets (making 31 total appearances). But Marjanovic is a very well-loved teammate and can help calm the waves in the locker room for a very young Houston team.

Marjanovic still keeps himself in excellent shape too. A recent workout selfie that he posted proved that Marjanovic will be ready for all the smoke whenever his number is called.
