alperen sengun injury status vs pelicans
Given that Alperen Sengun is questionable, there’s a legitimate possibility that he won’t suit up for this showdown with the Pelicans. This marks the second time he has been on the injury report this season, as Seungun suffered a foot injury earlier this season.
If Sengun had missed this game, he would have had an additional two days to recover before a big two-game home series against the Los Angeles Lakers. With the Rockets currently in fourth place in the Western Conference, these two games will be crucial for playoff positioning. Seungun is averaging 20.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per game for the Rockets.
Seungun has been mostly unavailable for the Rockets this season, missing seven games. If he misses this game, there’s a good chance he could compete for the Purple and Gold on Monday. Whether or not Seungun plays tonight is still up in the air, and that could be a true game-time decision.
