The Latest Breaking News from Rockets

The Monarchs (10-0) earned two impressive top-five wins this season to claim the top spot.

The Rockets own the NBA’s worst record at the moment, but they’re only slight road underdogs (+4.5) versus an Orlando team that is one game ahead in the standings.

Alperen Sengun is in elite form and has a better shot to keep it going in Minnesota, now that Rudy Gobert is in health and safety protocols. #Rockets rookie Jabari Smith Jr. is out with an illness.

There is nothing to salvage in Brooklyn. The Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving era was a failure.

The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Vipers, NBA G League affiliate of the #Rockets, have announced their official roster for the 2022-23 season. Here’s a rundown of the squad.

“I know I have to play great this season,” #Rockets center Alperen Sengun (26 points, 13 rebounds) says. “I have to show what I am going to do. I am playing with confidence.”

“It’s been frustrating, but a learning lesson at the end of the day,” says Jalen Green, whose #Rockets fell to 1-8. “We are still young and still growing. It is all experience.”

Through nine games, Alperen Sengun has clearly had the best start to the 2022-23 season among Houston’s top prospects, even relative to Jabari Smith Jr. and Jalen Green.

The stands weren't close to full Wednesday, this city's attention drawn more to the hometown Astros' World Series appearance than early November basketball. The loudest Toyota Center cheers were sparked between the third and fourth quarters by the scoreboard showing an Astros lead in Philadelphia.
