Will play Saturday Sengun (groin) is available for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Impact After a one-game absence, Sengun is back in the fold. This month, he's averaging 14.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 26.4 minutes.

Probable Saturday Sengun (groin) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's matchup with the Thunder, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Sengun missed Friday's victory over the Hawks due to a strained right groin. His potential quick return indicates the issue is not too serious. Final confirmation of his status should come closer to tipoff.

Ruled out Friday Sengun (groin) will not suit up against the Hawks on Friday, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact As expected, Sengun will sit the first leg of the Rockets' back-to-back set due to a strained right groin. His absence aligns with the return of Bruno Fernando (knee), who hasn't played since the second game of the season, meaning Fernando and Usman Garuba will handle most of the center minutes. Sengun may return to action for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Latest to land on injury report Sengun (groin) is expected to miss Friday's game against Atlanta due to a strained right groin.

Impact A rash of injuries and illnesses continue to mar the start of the NBA season, and Sengun is just the latest impact fantasy player to land on the report. He apparently picked up the groin strain against the Warriors on Sunday, though the Rockets did not disclose it until Thursday's injury report. The expectation is that Sengun will miss at least one game, but Houston is entering a back-to-back so chances are he'll probably sit both halves of that. Houston may get Bruno Fernando (knee) back Friday, however, so that would help ease the blow of losing Sengun.

NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Devin Booker scored 30 points, Cam Johnson added 19 and the Phoenix Suns won their fourth straight game by beating the Houston Rockets 124-109 on Sunday night

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • Associated Press

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.
