Center Alperen Sengün from the Houston Rockets did not suffer a serious leg injury. According to ESPN, this is what the investigations revealed on Monday. This means the Rockets can hope for his comeback in the final spurt of the season.
The 21-year-old Turk was injured in the final minute of the 112-104 win in Sacramento on Monday night when he tried to block a throw from Domantas Sabonis. After being treated at the baseline for several minutes, a wheelchair finally brought him into the locker room.
As Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports, both an X-ray and an MRI did not reveal any injuries that would require surgery: it is said to be a bruised knee and a severely sprained ankle.
This means that Sengün could possibly be available to the Rockets again in the last month of the regular season, even though he will be out for the time being. However, the team will certainly not take any risks, after all, the playoffs are almost impossible to reach: With a record of 29-35, the Rockets are currently five games behind the Golden State Warriors, who are tenth and last at 34-30 Occupy play-in spot in the West.
Sengün is one of the starters this season: The 16th pick in the 2021 draft averages 21 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5 assists. Last week he scored a new career-high 45 points against the San Antonio Spurs.
