Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun has suffered a serious injury with a severely sprained ankle and a bone bruise on his knee.

There is uncertainty regarding Sengun's return this season as the regular season ends on April 14, and significant healing is necessary.

Sengun's injury could significantly affect the Rockets' playoff race, as he has been a breakout star, averaging 21 points, nine rebounds, and five assists.

The injury took place during a game against the Kings when Sengun was challenging a shot at the rim, leading to him being wheeled off the court.

The Rockets remain optimistic but must adjust their lineup and strategy in the face of losing a key player as they continue their push towards the playoffs.
