Houston Rockets point guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks. Last week, Rockets head coach Ime Udoka stated that VanVleet is "about 80 percent" healthy, so the former All-Star looks close to being ready to return from a nine-game absence. If his comeback doesn't happen on Tuesday, VanVleet will have another chance to suit up on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. VanVleet's return may push Amen Thompson back to the bench; ...

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran guard will now miss nine games in a row due to a lingering ankle issue. Head coach Ime Udoka said that Vanvleet felt soreness in his ankle following Thursday's practice. He continued by saying that Vanvleet is about 80 percent healthy right now. The team is going to wait and see how he feels before they make a decision about Vanvleet's status for next week. Dillon Brooks ...

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) was originally considered a game-time decision, according to head coach Ime Udoka. He's since been downgraded to out on the team's official injury report due to the same ankle issue that has kept him sidelined since February 1. Outside of VanVleet, this is the healthiest the Rockets' main rotation has been in a long time. The ever-changing lineups have made it difficult to pin down streaming options in Houston, but Dillon Brooks seems to be the most ...

Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) missed the last seven games before the All-Star break, but coach Ime Udoka said he would be a game-time decision on Friday when the Rockets take on the Timberwolves. In his 45 games this season, FVV averaged 14.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.6 steals in 35.5 minutes per game. While he has been sidelined, Amen Thompson and Aaron Holiday stepped into larger roles and turned in big games. With Jabari Smith Jr. (hand) also expected to return on ...

Houston Rockets point guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) is poised to rejoin the lineup after the upcoming All-Star break. "He's on track as far as that and the plan is to have him back after the All-Star break," Rockets head coach Ime Udoka told reporters on Tuesday. VanVleet has missed five games and will be sidelined for at least two more, as Houston is set to play out a back-to-back set on Wednesday and Thursday.

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) isn't available for Sunday's clash with the Toronto Raptors. He injured his right ankle during the February 1 encounter against the Brooklyn Nets. As a result, the 30-year-old has missed the last four games. Without him, Amen Thompson should continue to handle most of the duties at the one spot, giving him a bump in usage and production. Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green should also see more scoring chances without VanVleet on the floor, with Cam ...

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Mavericks. He tweaked his ankle during a meeting with the Brooklyn Nets on February 1 and has missed the last three games. As a result, Amen Thompson has been handling things at the one spot, so he should continue to see an increase in usage. The same can be said for Jalen Green, who had 28 points in Thursday's loss to the Timberwolves. Tari Eason could remain in the starting lineup, with Cam Whitmore getting the...

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) won't play on Monday against the Knicks. He sprained his ankle in Saturday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets and didn't return, so most assumed he wouldn't be on the floor versus New York. But fantasy managers are left wondering how long he'll be sidelined. Until VanVleet is back on the floor, Amen Thompson may operate at the one, increasing his usage. Thompson could also see more production, especially if Alperen Sengun (calf) remains on the shelf. The ...

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) didn't return to Saturday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The 30-year-old didn't contribute much in this one, scoring only three points before exiting with an ankle injury after 17 minutes of work. Head coach Ime Udoka didn't know the severity of the injury. But fantasy managers should anticipate VanVleet missing Monday's game against the New York Knicks. If that's the case, Amen Thompson will likely take over most of the duties at the one, with Dillon ...

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (personal) will not play on Thursday night against the Kings after being listed as out for personal reasons. FVV played 35 minutes on Wednesday in the first game of the team's back-to-back and had 16 points, eight assists, and three steals in Houston's 128-108 win over Denver. The Rockets have won six of their last seven games, but they'll have to go without their starting point guard against the Kings. VanVleet has played all but two of the Rockets' 39 games...
