Durant's 28 points, Sengun's double-double lead Rockets past Bulls in 119-113

Kevin Durant had 28 points and Alperen Sengun added 23 with 11 assists to lead the Houston Rockets to a 119-113 win over the Chicago Bulls Tuesday night

Dishes 11 dimes in Tuesday's win Sengun logged 23 points (10-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 assists, seven rebounds and one block over 36 minutes during the Rockets' 119-113 win over the Bulls on Tuesday.

Impact Sengun finished tied with Amen Thompson as the Rockets' second-leading scorer behind Kevin Durant (28 points), and Sengun's 11 dimes were his most in a game since Dec. 1 against the Jazz (14). The fifth-year center has played 35-plus minutes in each of the two games since returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, so it appears he has fully recovered from that issue. Sengun is averaging 21.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over 34.4 minutes per game this season.

Returns with 19 points Sengun chipped in 19 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 111-98 loss to the Kings.

Impact Sengun returned after missing three games with an ankle injury. He logged 35 minutes in the loss and appears to be on track to keep playing without any restrictions, though an upcoming back-to-back set on Thursday and Friday might result in an absence due to injury management.

Available Sunday Sengun (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact Sengun will shed his questionable tag and return from a three-game absence due to a sprained right ankle. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the star big man operate under a minutes restriction. Still, fewer minutes will be available for the likes of Steven Adams and Clint Capela with Sengun back in action.

Questionable for Sunday Sengun (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact Head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that Sengun would likely miss around two weeks due to a right ankle sprain, though he has a chance to return Sunday after missing Houston's past three games. If the star big man is cleared to play, he'll likely be on a minutes restriction. Still, fewer minutes would be available for the likes of Steven Adams and Clint Capela.

Likely to miss about two weeks Head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that Sengun (ankle) is likely to miss around two weeks, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Sengun suffered a sprained right ankle in Saturday's loss to Dallas and is expected to miss an extended period. With the star big man on the shelf, Steven Adams will likely enter the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, while Clint Capela should see increased burn off the bench.

Won't play Monday Sengun (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Sengun getting ruled out a full 24 hours in advance of tip-off isn't a great sign, so for now, he should be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's game in Portland. Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game, and if he's forced to join Sengun on the inactive list, that could result in Clint Capela earning a spot-start.

Won't return Saturday Sengun (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Tim MacMahom of ESPN reports.

Impact Sengun left early in the first quarter of Saturday's game due to a right ankle sprain, which medical staff deemed too severe for the fifth-year center to return. Clint Capela will see a heavy dose of minutes off the bench the rest of the way due to the absences of Sengun and Steven Adams (ankle). Sengun's injury puts him in jeopardy of missing Monday's game against the Suns.

Questionable to return Saturday Sengun is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Mavericks due to a right ankle injury, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Sengun went to the locker room at the 10:56 mark in the first quarter after landing awkwardly on his ankle. With Steven Adams (ankle) not available, Clint Capela should see the majority of the minutes at center for as long as Sengun is out of the game, and Jeff Green and Dorian Finney-Smith could also see an uptick in minutes off the bench.
