Rockets’ Alperen Şengün Sprains Right Ankle Early in Dallas, Exits in 110-104 Loss

Houston awaits imaging to determine severity of the All-Star’s lateral sprain.

Overview

  • Şengün rolled his right ankle less than two minutes into the game after landing on Daniel Gafford’s foot, and the early diagnosis was a lateral sprain.
  • He played roughly 64 seconds and logged one rebound before heading to the locker room, with Clint Capela entering in his place.
  • Houston initially listed him as questionable to return and later ruled him out, with further evaluation expected to clarify the timeline.
  • The Rockets lost 110-104, ending a four-game winning streak, and shot 10-of-41 from three while also missing Steven Adams to a right-ankle sprain.
  • Şengün has been in a career year at 22.6 points, 9.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists, and his status for Monday’s home game against the Suns remains uncertain.
