Injuries are never a fun part of professional sports, but unfortunately for the Houston Rockets, they are one of the first teams to suffer a major loss before training camp can even tip off. In catastrophic fashion, the Rockets lost their starting point guard and team leader, Fred VanVleet, to a torn ACL that could very likely sideline him for the entire season before the year can even begin.
While losing a player to a potentially season-ending injury is never a fun way to start the year, luckily for the Rockets, they will have a full training camp and preseason to scheme and build rotations without their star guard.
