Charania: Houston's Alperen Sengun diagnosed with Grade 3 ankle sprain, 'likely to miss' rest of regular season
According to Shams Charania, Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun is expected to miss several weeks after suffering a Grade 3 right ankle sprain.
What It Means:
While the Rockets appear relieved after their star center was diagnosed with just a Grade 3 ankle sprain, Sengun is expected to sit out the remainder of Houston's regular season. Look for Jeff Green and Jock Landale to play increased roles with Sengun sidelined.
In 231 minutes with Houston's current injuries, Green is averaging 0.72 FanDuel points per minute and a 17.1% usage rate while Landale is producing 0.74 FanDuel points per minute and a 15.0% usage rate.
