Alperen Şengün delivered a solid performance with 19 points, nine rebounds, and three assists despite the Rockets’ loss to the Kings. Returning from injury, Şengün’s substantial playing time of 35 minutes is a positive sign for his fitness and contributions moving forward. However, with a midweek back-to-back in Week 13, his availability may be moderated by the Rockets’ training staff to ensure his ongoing recovery remains on track.
