Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Won't play vs. Milwaukee
Sengun (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Sengun is dealing with lower-back soreness and will miss his first game of the season, with his next chance to play coming Friday at Dallas. Tari Eason and Clint Capela are both candidates to see increased playing time in Sengun's stead.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Dominant in victory
Sengun ended Monday's 120-110 victory over the Hawks with 29 points (11-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, one block and six steals over 37 minutes.
Sengun put his fingerprints all over Monday's win, setting the pace in points, assists and steals. The star big man is off and running in 2026-27, having posted at least 17 points, seven boards, five dimes and one three-pointer in all four of his appearances.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-double in win over Hawks
Sengun had 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 win over Atlanta.
The double-double was the second in three games for Sengun to begin the season. The 24-year-old center hasn't made much of a defensive impact yet, but he may be adding some long-range shooting to his portfolio, as Sengun is averaging 23.0 points, 9.0 boards, 6.3 assists and 1.7 threes so far.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Flirts with triple-double in win
Sengun logged 29 points (10-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one block over 36 minutes during Friday's 114-110 win over the Spurs.
Sengun dominated the fourth quarter of Friday's game to deliver the win for Houston, and he even chipped in some defensive stats after failing to do so in the opener. It's early, but Sengun has gone 10-for-12 at the charity stripe through two games, and if the big man can find his form at the line, he could easily be a top-20 player in fantasy leagues.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-doubles in victory
Sengun totaled 23 points (9-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 victory over the Mavericks.
Sengun turned in an efficient shooting performance in Wednesday's season-opening win, finishing as Houston's third-leading scorer. The big man also tied for the team lead in rebounds and was second on the Rockets in assists. He grabbed at his lower back after drawing a charge and briefly headed toward the locker room in the third quarter, though he returned to the court shortly thereafter. Still, his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game versus San Antonio.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Full stat line in preseason finale
Sengun supplied 14 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 116-89 preseason win over the Thunder.
Sengun missed both of his three-point tries but was extremely efficient from two-point range, finishing as Houston's second-leading scorer. The star big man also paced the Rockets in rebounds and blocks while finishing second on the team in assists. He'll look to continue stuffing the stat sheet in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Mavericks.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Likely resting Sunday
Sengun (rest) isn't expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Sengun recorded 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and three blocks in 22 minutes during Friday's 135-117 preseason win over Dallas but will take a seat Sunday. Sengun is coming off another impressive year, averaging 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game across 72 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. However, the star center shot just 69.1 percent from the charity stripe and 30.5 percent from downtown. He's been focused on improving in those areas this offseason, and an uptick in efficiency would be a significant step toward becoming a more well-rounded player.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts triple-double in preseason win
Sengun recorded 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and three blocks in 22 minutes during Friday's 135-117 preseason win over Dallas.
Sengun delivered an impressive all-around performance in limited action, securing a triple-double while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. The 24-year-old center demonstrated his ability to contribute across multiple categories, particularly as a facilitator and rim protector. Sengun should remain one of Houston's primary offensive contributors alongside Kevin Durant heading into the 2026-27 regular season.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Working on shot ahead of 2026-27 season
Sengun has been working with shooting coach Chip Engelland on his free throws and three-point shot, and the big man wants to make corner threes a bigger part of his game, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Sengun is coming off another impressive year, averaging 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game across 72 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. However, the star center shot just 69.1 percent from the charity stripe and 30.5 percent from downtown.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Primed for another big year
Sengun continued his ascent as one of the league's premier offensive centers during the 2025-26 campaign, serving as Houston's primary facilitator in the frontcourt while forming an elite partnership with Kevin Durant.
Sengun's combination of interior scoring, rebounding and passing remained the foundation of the Rockets' halfcourt offense throughout the regular season. With Houston returning most of its rotation, Sengun's role should remain virtually unchanged entering 2026-27.
