Alperen Sengun News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

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.

Alperen Sengun (20 points) Highlights vs. Brooklyn Nets

JANUARY 2 • YOUTUBE

Scores 20 points in return Sengun amassed 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block over 34 minutes during Thursday's 120-96 victory over the Nets.

Impact Sengun returned from a two-game absence due to a left soleus strain and saw his usual workload Thursday. The star big man turned in an efficient outing and finished as Houston's third-leading scorer, posting 20-plus points for the second time in his last five appearances. He also dished out the second-most assists on the squad behind Kevin Durant (11). Over his last five outings, Sengun has averaged 17.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 32.8 minutes per contest.

Available Thursday Sengun (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Impact Sengun will shed his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to a left soleus strain. Over nine appearances in December, the star big man averaged 23.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.3 blocks in 34.7 minutes per tilt. He shot 53.4 percent from the floor during that span.

Chance to return Thursday Sengun (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Brooklyn.

Impact Sengun has been sidelined for the Rockets' last two games due to a strained left calf, but the fifth-year center could return to action for the start of the new year. Steven Adams (ankle) is also listed as questionable, so if the former and Sengun are unable to play against the Nets, then Clint Capela would be the top candidate to start at center for the Rockets.
