Houston Rockets’ all-star pivot Alperen Şengün’s status before the NBA’s Christmas Day clash with the Los Angeles Lakers has been clarified. Listed as “suspect” due to a tight left ankle, the Turkish international is now cleared to play.

Şengün’ün Sağlık Durumu

Rockets’ medical team updated Şengün’s condition after recent evaluations. A previously uncomfortable left ankle is now under control, and he has a high chance of entering the game.

“Şengün’s return would give Houston a major morale boost and directly affect the win probability against the Lakers.”

His presence is crucial for the Rockets’ inside game, especially against high‑profile opponents such as Kevin Durant and Luka Dončić.

Ovar Bakış: Oyuncu ve Sağlık Faktörleri

Lakers’ın Austin Reaves continues to be injured since December 11, and Luka Dončić’s leg contusion raises concerns for Saturday’s match. These absences could give Houston an edge in short‑margin play.

With Rockets being one of the league’s best rebounders and Şengün leading the way inside, Houston has a strategic advantage over the Lakers.
