Alperen Sengun (19 points) Highlights vs. Miami Heat

MARCH 22 • YOUTUBE

Cleared to face Miami Sengun (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sengun will shed a questionable tag in time to face Miami on Saturday night. The star center was a late addition to the injury report Saturday due to back tightness. In his last 11 games, Sengun is averaging 19.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists across 31.7 minutes.

Nursing back injury Sengun is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Miami due to back tightness.

Impact Sengun missed two games earlier in the week due to a back issue but played in each of the Rockets' last two games, posting a double-double in both contests. If he's unable to play Saturday, then Clint Capela and Dorian Finney-Smith would be the top candidates to enter the Rockets' starting lineup.

Double-doubles in win Sengun finished with 15 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and six turnovers across 32 minutes during Friday's 117-95 victory over Atlanta.

Impact While Sengun did a solid job filling the stat sheet, he also piled up the turnovers, committing nearly one-third of Houston's 19 giveaways. The Rockets still came away with the win, but he'll need to take better care of the ball if they hope to pick up another W against the Heat on Saturday.
