MAY 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Won't play in Game 7 Landale (knee) is out for Game 7 against the Warriors on Sunday.

Impact Landale has made just one appearance in the series, posting two points (1-2 FG) across five minutes in Game 5. Landale will aim to be available at some point in the postseason as long as the Rockets advance past the Warriors. Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams will continue to handle the minutes at center.

Golden State aims to clinch series in game 6

The Golden State Warriors look to clinch the Western Conference first round over the Houston Rockets in game six

MAY 2, 2025 • Associated Press

Ruled out for Friday Landale (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 against the Warriors.

Impact Landale missed the first four games of the first round due to a right knee contusion but was able to suit up in Game 5, posting two points (1-2 FG) in five minutes. However, the big man has already been ruled out for the club's win-or-go-home Game 6. Landale's next chance to suit up will come in Sunday's Game 7, provided the Rockets stave off elimination Friday.

Gets run in blowout win Landale (knee) finished with two points (1-2 FG) in five minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Rockets' 131-116 win over the Warriors in Game 5 of the first-round playoff series.

Impact Landale missed the Rockets' first three games of the playoffs due to a right knee contusion, but he was cleared ahead of Game 4. He went unused in a 109-106 loss Monday, but he received some playing time along with Houston's other deep reserves in the blowout win. Considering that Landale didn't check into the game until the Rockets were up 29 points with 50 seconds remaining in the third quarter, he's unlikely to be included in the rotation in Game 6 on Friday if that contest proves to be more competitive.

Available Monday Landale (knee) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Warriors, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Landale will return to game action after missing the first three outings of the Rockets' first-round series against the Warriors due to a right knee contusion. The big man isn't guaranteed to receive playing time, though he could step into the rotation if Steven Adams (illness) is ruled out.

Likely for Game 4 Landale (knee) is probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Warriors.

Impact Landale has not appeared in the first three postseason games due to a right knee injury, but he will likely be available for Monday's Game 4. Even if he is cleared to play, he doesn't figure to see much of a role.

Won't play Saturday Landale (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Warriors.

Impact Landale was able to go through drills during Friday's practice, though he's still set to miss his third straight outing due to a right knee contusion. His next chance to suit up will come in Game 4 against the Warriors on Monday.

Impact Landale has missed the first two games of the playoffs and is expected to remain out Saturday due to a right knee injury. However, Landale's participation in drills could indicate that he is nearing a return to action.

Ruled out for Game 2 Landale (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Warriors.

Impact Landale will miss his second straight game due to a right knee contusion. The big man's next chance to suit up will come in Saturday's Game 3 against Golden State, though he's unlikely play significant minutes in Houston's rotation.

Won't play in Game 1 Landale won't play in Sunday's Game 1 against the Warriors due to a knee injury, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Landale will miss the first game of the playoffs Sunday due to a knee injury. Steven Adams should operate as the primary backup center to Alperen Sengun in his absence. Landale's next chance to suit up is Game 2 on Wednesday.

APRIL 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Sunday Landale is not in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Sunday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Even with the Rockets locked in as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference standings, head coach Ime Udoka said Sunday that he'll go with his usual starting lineup and those players will get their regular minutes. That means Landale will come off the bench after starting in Houston's last two games, during which he averaged 9.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals over 29.0 minutes per game.

APRIL 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Wednesday Landale is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Alperen Sengun (back) will be in street clothes Wednesday, resulting in Landale making the start. It'll be Landale's second start of the season. Expect Landale and Steven Adams to split most of the center work.

APRIL 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees garbage-time run in rout Landale posted six points (3-4 FG), five rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 133-96 win over Dallas.

Impact Landale saw some extra playing time while playing the entire fourth quarter during Friday's easy win, but it was still just a pedestrian performance off the bench. Over his last eight appearances, Landale has averaged a mere 3.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 11.1 minutes. The 29-year-old big man should continue carrying minimal fantasy appeal as long as Alperen Sengun is healthy.

Good to go Tuesday Landale (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Landale has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with left knee soreness. With Alperen Sengun (back) set to return to action against Indiana, Landale should return to his backup center role.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Tuesday Landale is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers with left knee soreness.

Impact Landale drew a start Monday against the Thunder, finishing with six points, three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes. The Rockets will be getting a healthy Alperen Sengun back in the lineup Tuesday, however, along with several others.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing first start of season Landale is starting Monday's game against the Thunder, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Landale is in line for his first start of the 2024-25 campaign while Alperen Sengun sits with a back injury. Landale is averaging only 10.5 minutes through 30 games with the Rockets this year but should be in line for a significant uptick in playing time Monday.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses out on double-double Landale closed with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Despite Steven Adams playing Thursday, Landale was able to secure the majority of Houston's backup center minutes against Golden State. Although Landale continues to receive inconsistent playing time, he has scored double-digit points in each of his last three outings.

FEBRUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First double-double of season Landale provided 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Sunday's 94-87 victory over Toronto.

Impact It was the first double-double of the season for Landale, who stepped up to tie a team high with 10 rebounds off Houston's bench. The 29-year-old big man also set a new season high with 24 minutes Sunday, which is worth noting after Alperen Sengun left the game with a back injury. Landale's role with the Rockets has been inconsistent this year, but he could be in line for an expanded role if Sengun and Steven Adams (ankle) are out for Wednesday's tilt against Phoenix.
