Sengun Out: Rockets Face Bucks Undefeated
29 Oct
Summary
- Alperen Sengun is out with low back soreness.
- Steven Adams also misses the game with a soleus strain.
- The Rockets aim to extend their 4-0 season start.
The Houston Rockets have announced that star center Alperen Sengun will miss Wednesday night's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Sengun is sidelined with low back soreness, impacting the team's frontcourt as they attempt to extend their undefeated 4-0 season start.
Sengun's absence comes after a strong performance against the Atlanta Hawks, where he nearly recorded a triple-double. He is currently averaging a career-high 24.5 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists per game. The Rockets will also be without Steven Adams due to a right soleus strain, leaving them without their top two traditional centers.
Marcus Smart is currently questionable with a left forearm strain, potentially further impacting Houston's rotation. The Rockets are beginning a two-game road trip against the Bucks, followed by a game against the Dallas Mavericks. Despite existing injuries, Houston has managed to secure four consecutive victories to open the season.
