He now plays for the Houston Rockets. Previously, he was active in the NBA for the New Jersey Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Bobcats and the Washington Wizards. As Boykins was not a good offer from an NBA team in 2008, he went to Italy for a year to the Virtus Bologna. However, he later returned one years back in the NBA back and signed for one year with the Wizards.
