Sengun (back) is making progress, but he remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun wasn't able to return to Sunday's 94-87 win over the Raptors due to a lumbar spasm and finished with zero points (0-3 FG) and three rebounds in three minutes. It sounds like he'll be a game-time call Wednesday, but if he's unable to go, Jeff Green, Jock Landale and Steven Adams could see increased roles.

Sengun didn't return to Sunday's 94-87 win over the Raptors due to a lumbar spasm and finished with zero points (0-3 FG) and three rebounds in three minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The star big man checked out of the game with 8:44 remaining in the first quarter, paving the way for Jeff Green and Jock Landale to see extended run in the loss. Sengun will have until Wednesday's game against the Suns to recover. If Sengun is unable to play, Steven Adams (ankle) -- who sat out Sunday for maintenance purposes -- will likely receive the starting nod at center.

Sengun is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Raptors due to a lumbar spasm, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
If he's unable to return, Sengun will finish with zero points (0-3 FG) and three rebounds in three minutes. Jeff Green replaced Sengun when the big man went to the locker room, but Jock Landale is also a candidate for increased minutes for the remainder of the game. The Rockets were already thin in the frontcourt, as Steven Adams (lower leg), Tari Eason (ankle) and Jabari Smith (hand) are all in street clothes Sunday.

Sengun exited in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Raptors after sustaining an apparent back injury, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun checked out of Sunday's contest after grabbing at his back just minutes after tipoff. If the big man is unable to return, Jock Landale and Jeff Green could fill most of the minutes at center for the rest of the contest.

Sengun registered 30 points (11-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun was limited to just five points in the first half of Saturday's game, but he came alive in the second half with 25 points as the Rockets attempted to make a late comeback. Sengun finished as the game's leading scorer, and it was the first time since Jan. 9 that he had scored 30 points. The Rockets will look to break out of their six-game losing streak Sunday against the Raptors.

Sengun provided 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 127-114 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun missed three straight games between Jan. 30 and Feb. 3 due to a calf injury, but he picked things up right where he left off with back-to-back double-doubles in the two games he's played since returning. Sengun has been playing well since the calendar flipped to the new year, averaging 19.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game since the beginning of January.

Sengun (calf) tallied 24 points (8-18 FG, 8-14 FT), 20 rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes in Tuesday's 99-97 loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun posted game-high marks in scoring and rebounding Tuesday, recording the first matchup of his career with 20-plus points and rebounds, albeit in a losing effort. The big man snapped a three-game absence streak due to a left calf contusion Tuesday, racking up his 22nd outing of the 2024-25 campaign with 20 or more points. The All-Star's ability to stuff the stat sheet has made him a top option across fantasy formats this season, and he has already logged 29 appearances with a double-double or better through 47 regular-season games.

Sengun (calf) is available and starting against the Nets on Tuesday, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun has missed the Rockets' last three games due to a left calf contusion, but the fourth-year big man out of Turkey has progressed enough in his recovery to play Tuesday. Sengun has averaged 19.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals over 31.4 minutes per game since the beginning of January.

Sengun (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
After missing three straight games, including the first half of Houston's current back-to-back set, Sengun is slated to return to the Rockets' starting lineup Tuesday. The big man may face some restrictions, but he's played fewer than 25 minutes only three times across 46 regular-season appearances.
