Talk about a rough start for the Houston Rockets. Just one minute into tonight’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, Alperen Sengun came down hard on his ankle while going for a rebound. He appeared to be in considerable pain when heading back to the locker room.
Sengun grabbed just one rebound before leaving, and he is currently listed as questionable to return.
