“He was happy to get that news,” Udoka told reporters before the Spurs game about Alperen Şengün. “Not only was it a painful injury that looked bad, but he was probably just scared on the court at that time.” #Rockets #Sarge @TheRocketsWire https://t.co/0MkanzBK3r

Was going to hit this but Mort beat me to it. Sengun dodged a bullet, but bone bruises in the knee area aren't just "haha I got a booboo", they can be a real problem depending on severity/location/etc. https://t.co/dQWpRBE2OI
The Sengun news made my day
I don't expect him to play for the rest of the season, and I am glad he escaped a major injury. #Rockets #Sarge #RocketsWire https://t.co/eLl8kvp4q3
