Unfortunately for the Houston Rockets and their passionate fans, they’re probably going to be without former Raptors standout and current veteran point guard Fred VanVleet for the whole 2025-26 season. He tore his ACL during offseason training, which is a tough blow considering the season start is just around the corner.
Now, I think in the grand scheme of sports injuries, when you hear "sprained" or "bruised," maybe there's a little more of a silver lining. But whenever it's broken, fractured, or torn, it tends to be harder for fans to hold onto their faith after hearing such serious labels.
