Alperen Sengun Injury Update: Rockets Star Downgraded for Mavericks Matchup

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun remains questionable for tonight's game against the Dallas Mavericks, according to the latest injury report. The 21-year-old Turkish big man has been a key contributor this season, averaging 21.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game. His potential absence would be a significant blow to the Rockets' frontcourt rotation and their chances against a Mavericks team led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Sengun has missed the previous two games due to a right ankle sprain, and the team is taking a cautious approach with his recovery. The Rockets, currently fighting for a play-in spot in the Western Conference, need all their key players available. If Sengun is sidelined, expect increased minutes for Jock Landale and Jeff Green. The final decision will likely come closer to tip-off. Houston will need to adjust quickly if their star center cannot go.
