Alperen Sengun News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

Good to go Sunday Sengun (groin) is listed as available for Sunday's game against Golden State.

Impact Sengun was questionable coming in due to a minor groin issue, but he's ultimately been given the green light to play. The big man will start at his usual center spot. He's coming off of an 11-point, nine-rebound, four-assist, one-steal effort in Friday's loss to Indiana.

Considered game-time decision Sengun (groin) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Sengun went through the Rockets' morning shootaround ahead of Sunday's game, but he continues to be evaluated by the team's medical staff. He'll presumably test things out in pregame warmups, but the team homes he'll be able to play through his right groin soreness.

Present for shootaround, still iffy Sengun (groin) went through the Rockets' morning shootaround but remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.

Impact Sengun was seen going through drills Sunday and even took part in some basket-to-basket sprinting, which seemingly bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday. The Rockets are unlikely to provide an update on Sengun until the team begins warming up approximately 30 minutes before Sunday's 7 p.m. ET opening tip. Sengun has started each of Houston's last 11 games and is averaging 15.5 points, 8.2 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.6 steals in 27.3 minutes per contest while shooting 53.5 percent from the field during that stretch.

Questionable vs. Warriors Sengun is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors due to right groin soreness.

Impact Sengun has played well since joining the starting lineup, though he continues to get in foul trouble relatively often. Over the past 11 games, he's averaged 15.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 blocks. If he sits out Sunday, more minutes could be in store for Usman Garuba, Kenyon Martin and Tari Eason.

Racks up five blocks against Dallas Sengun totaled 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 101-92 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Sengun didn't record any blocks in his last two appearances but bounced back with a season-high five blocks during Wednesday's win. The 20-year-old has shot 56.4 percent from the floor over the last 10 matchups and has averaged 16.0 points and 8.1 rebounds in 27.2 minutes per game during that time.

Comes close to double-double Sengun delivered 17 points (5-8 FG, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks, an assist and a steal across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 116-109 loss against the Raptors.

Impact Sengun is a double-double threat every time he steps on the court, and the big man has looked good in recent weeks. He has started each of Houston's last seven games, and he has delivered double-digit points with seven or more rebounds each time, including three double-doubles in that span. As if that wasn't enough, his three blocks in this game tied a season-high output.

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Big double-double against Magic Sengun registered 20 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 134-127 win over Orlando.

Impact It's his fourth double-double in nine games, and his third 20-and-10 performance. Sengun appears to be on his way to a breakout campaign, averaging 17.1 points, 10.0 boards, 2.2 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor.

Notches third double-double Sengun recorded 26 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 109-101 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Sengun turned in a stellar performance, shooting with efficiency from both the field and the charity stripe. The center has been a strong contributor in points and rebounds in the early stages of the 2022-23 campaign, putting up 16.7 points and 10.3 boards through seven games.

Comes close to double-double Sengun provided 14 points (4-8 FG, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Monday's 95-93 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Sengun has started in each of Houston's last three games and is putting up the numbers many fantasy managers expected him to do so -- he has scored at least 14 points while pulling down at least nine rebounds in each of those outings. He's been remarkably consistent as a two-way presence and should remain valuable in fantasy as long as he remains locked into a 20-plus-minute role. For now, Houston appears intent on using Sengun off the bench, but that could change as the season wears on.

NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nearly misses double-double Sengun amassed 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 124-109 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Sengun has started in Houston's last two games, and fantasy managers should undoubtedly be happy with that since he was either coming off the bench or absent altogether in each of the team's first five contests. Regardless of the role, the second-year big man has been productive. Sengun has scored in double digits in all but one game, recorded two double-doubles, and pulled down at least nine rebounds in each of his appearances.

Devin Booker scores 30 points, Suns beat Rockets 124-109

Team option picked up The Rockets exercised Sengun's $3.54 million team option for the 2023-24 season Sunday.

Impact Although Sengun came off the bench over the Rockets' first three games of the season, he's had consistent playing time. He started Friday's game against the Trail Blazers and will likely remain in the starting five while Bruno Fernando (knee) is sidelined. Sengun is averaging 15.3 points and 10.3 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game over four appearances this year.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Productive return Friday Sengun closed with 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 26 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Sengun was productive on both ends of the floor, returning from a two-game absence in the loss. His start to the season has been odd, to say the least, and yet he has been relatively valuable. It remains to be seen whether he sticks in the starting lineup or if head coach Stephen Silas opts to move him back to the bench. No matter his assigned role, he should be able to maintain mid-round value moving forward.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Sengun (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Sengun missed the last two games due to an illness but was probable ahead of Friday's matchup. He'll draw his first start of the season with Bruno Fernando (knee) sidelined, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Sengun maintain a starting role since Fernando is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. Over his first three appearances of the season, Sengun has averaged 15.7 points and 10.0 rebounds in 24.0 minutes per game.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Friday Sengun (illness) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Sengun has missed the Rockets' last two games due to an illness, but it appears he's on track to return for Friday's matchup in Portland. With Bruno Fernando (knee) sidelined, Sengun could see a slightly expanded role if he's ultimately cleared to play.

Out again Wednesday Sengun (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Utah, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Sengun will miss a second consecutive contest due to an illness. Per Feigen, Sengun plans to eventually join the Rockets on their current four-game road trip, so the aliment shouldn't be too much of a concern moving forward.

Unavailable Monday Sengun (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact Sengun was questionable ahead of Monday's matchup and will be forced to miss at least one game due to his illness. His absence leaves the Rockets particularly shorthanded in the frontcourt since Bruno Fernando (knee) will also be sidelined, so Usman Garuba and Tari Eason should see plenty of run.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Monday Sengun is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz due to an unspecified illness, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Sengun seems to have come down with an illness over the weekend after contributing nine points, nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and a block across 23 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Bucks. With Bruno Fernando (knee) already ruled out for Monday's contest, Usman Garuba should be in line for an expanded role against the Jazz, even if Sengun is able to play.
