Just when he was playing well again and giving the Houston Rockets hope of competing in the play-in, the star suffered a nasty injury.
According to the journalist Adrian Wojnarowskifrom “ESPN”, the Turkish Alperen Sengun suffered a serious injury during the match between Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings, needing to undergo an MRI that will determine exactly the severity of the player’s situation. The move happened in the last minute of the match, when the Texas team’s best scorer of the season tried to challenge an opponent’s layup, but ended up falling in the wrong way.
“Injuries are part of the game. We all understand when we put ourselves out there, but it’s always difficult to see your teammates getting hurt. But it’s even worse when it’s young people, who haven’t been through something like this yet,” stated the team’s point guard, Fred Van Vleet. The pivot may have suffered, in addition to a knee injury, an injury to his right leg. Sengun underwent x-ray examinations, as stated by the coach Ime Udoka. But no one revealed the results.
At just 21 years old, Sengun was having the best season of his career. In the game against the Kings, he scored 14 points, but averages 21.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in around 32 minutes per night. While he is away, the coach is likely to use Jock Landale in his place in ownership. However, it is unlikely that the Turk will return to the court anytime soon.
