The harsh images at the end of the match in Sacramento gave rise to pessimism, but all basketball fans have been reassured since that night. Rising center Alperen Segun avoided any serious injury to his right leg.
Going out with your head in your hands on a wheelchair often recalls the saddest moments of recent years, harbingers of long months of suffering or slowed careers. Fortunately, we can take a deep breath when we learn that Alperen Sengun is doing well and should not be in the infirmary for too long. Alperen It’s Good.
According to insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Houston pivot avoided the worst. MRIs carried out on Monday revealed that he still suffered from a sprained ankle and a bruised knee.

This is obviously the theme of this end of the season, a countless number of injuries piling up across the four corners of the league. But Rocket City breathes better, and so does the NBA planet when good news comes as a counterbalance.
If no period of unavailability has been mentioned, the medical staff will not take any risks given the end of the Rockets’ season. Too far from the play-in places, the Rockets don’t have much left to play by mid-April, and the Turk will be able to take the time to take care of his body to get back in shape.
Ime Udoka will also have to be creative for the fifteen matches that remain to be played. Without Sengun, the coach could choose to align Jock Landale at position five, or innovate by sliding Jabari Smith Jr. into a small ball pivot, or even Jeff Green who was able to do it from time to time. Enough to leave room for Cam Withmore in the major five?
Author of a superb season with 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5 assists, the man nicknamed “Baby Jokic” established himself as the franchise player in Houston this year. But to see him at work again, we may have to wait… next October.
