Rockets center Alperen Sengun is currently managing tightness in his left calf and has been listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup against Cleveland, according to the league’s official injury report, as noted by Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com.
This is not the first time the issue has come up recently, as Sengun carried the same designation ahead of Thursday’s game against the Lakers before ultimately being cleared to play.
At just 23 years old, Sengun has continued to establish himself as one of Houston’s most important pieces.
He earned his first All-Star selection during the 2024/25 season, and if he keeps producing at his current level, another appearance in the midseason showcase during the 2025/26 campaign seems well within reach.
Through 26 games this season, the Turkish big man has been highly productive across the board, averaging 22.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 block per game while logging 35.6 minutes per night.
