Alperen Sengun's injury has silver lining that could propel Rockets to new heights

Alperen u015eengün is going to miss time, and Houston Rockets fans hate it.

According to NBA Insider Marc Stein, the Rockets are bracing for ten to 14 days without their offensive hub after the ankle twist he suffered in Dallas. Given Houston's schedule density, that likely means a ten-game absence, give or take.

Alperen u015eengün is likely to be sidelined for the next 10 to 14 days, per Rockets coach Ime Udoka, after the ankle twist u015eengün sustained Saturday night in Dallas.
