Will be interesting to see if the Rockets look to add another big to the roster with Sengun likely missing the rest of the season. They would have to clear a roster spot in order to do so, and I’m not sure there is anyone available that Udoka would actually give playing time to – 8:51 PM

Sengun hasn’t yet been ruled out for the season, but there’s significant healing that would need to occur before he could be cleared to play again with Rockets’ regular-season ending on April 14, sources said. – 6:34 PM

With only 18 games remaining, this is probably a season-ending injury for Rockets center Alperen Sengun. Houston, which has won four of its last five, still has games against the Thunder, Mavericks (2), Timberwolves, Warriors and Clippers, so this could impact the playoff race. – 6:19 PM

Rockets are going to finish the day 4.5 games back of the Warriors for the final play-in spot. Warriors next three games are at San Antonio (without Curry), at Mavs, and at Lakers. Losing Sengun for however long it may be is a huge damper, but the team isn’t dead – 12:00 AM

More on this storyline
The injury happened with just under a minute remaining in regulation, while Sengun was challenging a shot by Sabonis at the rim. “I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what the reports are, but anytime you see someone come out with a wheelchair, you know, it’s definitely scary, Sabonis said. “Very, very young talented player, you know, I just, you know, I feel bad, you know, no one wants to get hurt, you know, so I just wish him the best, the best and a speedy recovery.” -via Clutch Points / March 11, 2024
“I just saw it on my phone, yeah. I mean, that’s a lot of weight coming down on a big’s legs. Obviously, we hope he’s all right. You never want to see any injuries in any type of game, Fox told reporters. “But, I mean, as great as well as he’s been playing this year, you know, you definitely don’t want to see that. And I mean, obviously, Jabari Smith makes a hard foul and he’s jumping, And he was jumping straight up, and unfortunate things can happen,”Fox added. -via Clutch Points / March 11, 2024
