Top Alperen Sengun News

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Flirts with double-double in loss

    Sengun amassed 11 points (3-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 126-107 loss to Oklahoma City.

    Sengun lost the battle with Chet Holmgren in the paint, although he did end the day with a high rebound totals. Steven Adams' return to action will provide Sengun with much-needed relief, as he's carried a heavy load in Houston's undersized first unit.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Fills stat sheet Wednesday

    Sengun chipped in 16 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 127-100 victory over the Spurs.

    Sengun's final stat line could've been even more robust if he hadn't played only 24 minutes in this 27-point blowout win over the Spurs. The star big man couldn't keep the double-double streak alive, but he remains a capable two-way presence, having notched that feat in six of his eight contests thus far. In eight appearances this season, Sengun is averaging 16.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and a combined 2.4 steals-and-blocks across 28.4 minutes per game.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Another double-double in win

    Sengun had 25 points (11-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and four blocks over 33 minutes during Monday's 109-97 win over New York.

    Sengun posted a team-high 25 points and 14 rebounds while dominating both ends of the floor. The big man has tallied four consecutive double-doubles and has amassed six across seven regular-season outings. The 22-year-old also racked up a season-high four blocks and continues to stuff the stat sheet, though his efficiency is a bit concerning as he has shot only 43.9 percent from the field.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Returns to play Saturday

    Sengun (undisclosed) returned for the start of the second half Saturday against Golden State, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

    Sengun headed to the locker room shortly before the end of the first half. He didn't come back out to the floor with his teammates during halftime warmups, but he made his way out of the locker room shortly before the start of the third quarter.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Headed to locker room

    Sengun (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Warriors, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

    It's unclear why Sengun went to the locker room, but while he is sidelined, Jabari Smith will likely see extended playing time at center as Jock Landale (elbow) is also dealing with an injury. Jeff Green has also seen his first minutes of the regular season Saturday and should see more time off the bench for as long as Sengun is out of the game.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Logs another double-double

    Sengun ended with 17 points (5-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 victory over the Mavericks.

    Sengun's double-double Thursday was his fourth of the 2024-25 regular season, and he ended the game tied with Jalen Green for most rebounds. Sengun is shooting just 33.3 percent from the field over his last four outings, but the 2021 first-round pick will provide consistent fantasy value across all stats, especially rebounding. Through the first five games of the regular season, Sengun is averaging 15.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals across 29.8 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Struggles in loss to San Antonio

    Sengun produced six points (2-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 109-106 loss to the Spurs.

    Sengun couldn't get anything going down low and had a rough time trying to get past Victor Wembanyama, who found a way to limit Sengun's impact considerably on both ends of the court. Sengun had recorded double-doubles in his previous two outings this season, however, and one subpar outing isn't going to worry fantasy managers who trusted him in standard drafts. He should remain a capable producer for the Rockets due to his elite ability to fill the stat sheet.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Another double-double Friday

    Sengun amassed 16 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 128-108 win over the Grizzlies.

    Sengun has logged a double-double in each of the first two games of the regular season, and he combined with Jabari Smith for 31 of Houston's 41 rebounds Friday. Sengun's ability to impact the game in various ways earned him a five-year, $185 million extension Monday, and early on, it appears that contract for the 2021 first-round pick could be a bargain for the Rockets. Sengun will be in for a tough challenge against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs on Saturday.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Stuffs stat sheet in opener

    Sengun produced 25 points (10-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 loss to the Hornets.

    Just two days after inking a five-year, $185 million extension with the Rockets, Sengun showed exactly why he's considered a cornerstone of Houston's roster. The 22-year-old logged at least 18 rebounds for the fourth time in his career and notched his fifth game with at least four steals. The center connected on two of his three attempts from long distance, which may have been an area of emphasis over the offseason after shooting 29.7 percent from range in 2023-24.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Agrees to five-year extension

    Sengun agreed to a five-year, $185 million rookie extension with the Rockets on Monday, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.

    Sengun's five-year extension includes a player option in the last year. The 2021 first-round pick is coming off a strong 2023-24 season during which he averaged 21.1 points on 53.7 percent shooting, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals across 32.5 minutes per game over 63 regular-season contests. He did miss the last 18 games of the regular season due to a Grade 3 right ankle sprain, but he was able to return for the start of training camp in late September and will be good to go for the start of the 2024-25 regular season. Sengun will remain an integral part of the Rockets' youth movement alongside Jalen Green and Jabari Smith.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts double-double

    Sengun recorded 21 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason win over the Spurs.

    Sengun should be among the leaders of this Rockets team, and his fantasy upside is sky-high if he stays healthy, as he can stuff the stat sheet. He should be one of the most reliable big men in fantasy regardless of the format and could be in line to surpass the career-best season he had in 2023-24, when he averaged 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game across 63 regular-season contests.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Sniffs double-double

    Sengun recorded 17 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-12 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 122-113 preseason win over the Thunder.

    Sengun led the Rockets in scoring, and he found a way to make an impact on the boards and defensively as well while ending just one rebound shy of a double-double. Even though it's only the preseason, Sengun is showing he's ready to start the campaign and pick things up where he left them in 2023-24. The big man is expected to play a massive role for the Rockets on both ends of the court, and his ability to fill the stat sheet across several categories should make him one of the most sought-after big men across all fantasy formats.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Fills stat sheet Monday

    Sengun recorded 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block across 22 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.

    Sengun missed the final 18 games of the 2023-24 season with a Grade 3 right ankle sprain but was deemed healthy for training camp in late September. If fantasy managers needed confirmation of his status, this performance cleared every possible question mark regarding the promising big man. It's unclear who will operate as Houston's go-to player on offense this season, but there's no question Sengun has the most upside from a fantasy perspective. He's expected to take another leap in his game after posting averages of 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game over 63 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: All set for camp

    Sengun, who missed the final 18 games of the 2023-24 season with a Grade 3 right ankle sprain, will be ready for training camp this week, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Sengun also battled a bone bruise in his right knee at the end of last season, but he will be 100 percent heading into training camp. Feigen reports that Houston's entire roster will be ready for camp after doing full-contact scrimmages last week. Sengun is primed for a massive 2024-25 season after posting averages of 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game over 63 regular-season appearances during last season's breakout campaign.
