Alperen Sengün News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

Returns from seven-game absence Sengun provided nine points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 14 minutes during Friday's 126-114 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Making his return after missing the previous seven games due to COVID-19 protocols/conditioning, Sengun stepped back into his usual role as the No. 2 center behind Christian Wood. The rookie has been a per-minute fantasy darling all season, but the Rockets have capped his workload in the low-20-minute range on most nights. Fantasy managers are hoping that changes over the second half of the season, as Houston could presumably shift to even more of a youth-oriented rotation.

Not listed on injury report Sengun (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's contest against the Kings.

Impact After being upgraded to questionable, Sengun was ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Spurs -- marking his seventh straight absence, but it appears he will be available Friday for the first time since Dec. 31. The rookie first-round pick is expected to reclaim his usual backup role behind Christian Wood.
