Out Friday Sengun (lower leg) is out Friday against the Kings but is close to a return, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Impact Sengun will miss a second straight game. With Christian Wood (hamstring) out for the season, Usman Garuba should draw another start at center.

Questionable Friday Sengun (lower leg) is questionable Friday against the Kings, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sengun sat out Wednesday's loss to the Kings but should see increased run if available due to Christian Wood (hamstring) being sidelined. The rookie has seen at least 20 minutes in each of his past eight appearances with averages of 12.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Ruled out Wednesday Sengun (leg) will not play Wednesday against the Kings, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact As expected, Sengun will be held out as he deals with a bruised leg. Feigen relays that the Rockets are considering the big man day-to-day but are hoping he can play in as many games as possible down the stretch -- especially with Christian Wood (hamstring) done for the year.

'Unlikely' to play Wednesday Sengun (leg) did not go through shootaround and is considered unlikely to play Wednesday against the Kings, despite the fact that he's still listed as questionable, Jonathan Feige...

Impact Sengun remains questionable on the official injury report, but there have been rumblings throughout the day that he's actually much closer to doubtful. If that's the case, the Rockets will likely have to turn to Usman Garuba and Bruno Fernando for minutes at center with Christian Wood (hamstring) done for the season.

Questionable for Wednesday's game Sengun (leg) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Sengun left Monday's contest early due to a lower-leg bruise. Christian Wood (hamstring) has already been ruled out, so if Sengun is also sidelined, Usman Garuba, Kenyon Martin and Bruno Fernando would all be candidates for increased roles.

Nursing knee injury Sengun was held out of the end of Monday's game against San Antonio due to a lower leg bruise, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Sengun appeared to have suffered the injury earlier in the contest, which made him unavailable down the stretch. He'll be considered day-to-day until the team provides another update on his status.

MARCH 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Sengun will start Monday's game against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The rookie first-round pick as come off the bench the past eight games but will start Monday's contest with Christian Wood (hamstring) unavailable. Sengun has averaged 11.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 27.5 minutes as a starter, and he'll remain in that role as long as Wood remains sidelined.

MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Explodes for career-best 27 points Sengun had 27 points (10-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 115-98 victory over Portland.

Impact Sengun entered the contest with just one career 20-point game to his resume, but he easily surpassed that mark thanks to a 10-for-16 shooting line against Portland. The rookie also grabbed a team-high seven rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench. Sengun remains too inconsistent to be a reliable fantasy asset down the stretch, though he certainly has shown the talent to put together the occasional strong performance.

Scores 15 points off bench Sengun produced 15 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and three blocks over 21 minutes during Friday's 121-118 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Sengun missed all of his three-point attempts but still scored in double figures for the first time over the past four games. Across 10 games in March, the rookie has averaged 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 23.6 minutes per game, though that production is skewed by a 21-point, 14-rebound performance during a March 9 start when Christian Wood was sidelined with an illness.

Moving back to bench Sengun will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Salman Ali of Clutch Points reports.

Impact After making three straight spot starts with Christian Wood sidelined, Sengun will head back to the bench with Wood available Sunday. Sengun flopped in his last outing Friday against Dallas -- six points, six rebounds, five fouls in 20 minutes -- but Wednesday against the Lakers he erupted for 21 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in a career-high (by far) 40 minutes of action.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dazzles in career-high 40 minutes Sengun finished with 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 40 minutes Wednesday in the Rockets' 139-130 overtime victory...

Impact Making a second straight start for an ailing Christian Wood (illness), Sengun once again saw elevated minutes and produced a fantasy-friendly line. In addition to Sengun, fellow rookies Jalen Green (32 points) and Josh Christopher (21 points) cleared the 20-point threshold, marking the first time in NBA history that a team has had three players 20 years old or younger achieve the feat in the same game. The rookie big man is expected to move into a reserve role and will see a reduction in minutes as soon as Wood gets the green light to play again, but in the opportunities he's received thus far this season, Sengun has firmly established himself as a intriguing asset in keeper or dynasty leagues.

Rookie Green has 32 as Rockets down Lakers in OT, 139-130

Rookie Jalen Green scored a career-high 32 points, including 10 in overtime, and the Houston Rockets outlasted the slumping Los Angeles Lakers for a 139-130 win Wednesday night

MARCH 10, 2022 • Associated Press

Near double-double in spot start Sengun posted 13 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes during Monday's 123-106 loss to the Heat.

Impact Sengun was thrown into the starting mix with Christian Wood (illness) a late scratch. The rookie's production was proficient, but he lacks the prolific potential that Wood brings on a game-by-game basis. Either way, Sengun has still been worthy of fantasy consideration as a reserve this season, though only in deeper leagues. Over his last five games, Sengun has averaged 9.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 22.8 minutes per game.

MARCH 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Enters starting five Sengun is starting Monday's game against Miami, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Sengun will be thrown into the starting mix with Christian Wood (illness) a late scratch Monday evening. His last start dates back to Feb. 16 against Phoenix, when he put up 19 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in 28 minutes.
