Rockets Upgrade Alperen Şengün to Questionable as Tari Eason Ruled Out vs. Kings

Overview

• NBA's official injury report lists Alperen Şengün as questionable for Sunday in Sacramento.
• Coach Ime Udoka had projected a two-week timeline but reported reduced swelling and pain, suggesting a possible earlier return.
• Şengün injured his right ankle on Jan. 3 in Dallas and has missed the last three games of the road trip.
• Tari Eason suffered a right ankle sprain after rolling it in Friday’s loss at Portland and is out against the Kings.
• The Rockets have lost two of three without Şengün, including blowing a 13-point fourth-quarter lead, putting added burden on Kevin Durant.
