Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun's availability for the team's game against the Dallas Mavericks has been determined following an injury evaluation. The Turkish big man, who wears number 28 for Houston, was listed on the injury report leading up to the October 21, 2026 contest at Toyota Center.
The Rockets medical staff made a final determination on Sengun's status after the team's morning shootaround. Sengun has been a key contributor for Houston since being acquired, anchoring the frontcourt with his passing, rebounding, and scoring ability.
The matchup against the Mavericks marks a Texas rivalry game with playoff implications for both Western Conference squads. Dallas enters the game with their own injury considerations as both teams navigate the early portion of the 2026-27 NBA season.
