Alperen Sengun Enters Year 5 as Houston's Offensive Hub
newsroom · 2 h agoAlperen Sengun heads into the 2026-27 season as the Rockets' starting center, coming off a 2025-26 campaign where he averaged 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists. He is not on the injury report. Houston opens the new season looking for him to build on a year that saw him post career-level efficiency numbers.
The Roster Spot
Alperen Sengun returns to Houston as the starting center, wearing No. 28. He is 24 years old, stands 6-11, and weighs 243 pounds. This is his fifth NBA season, and he came up through Besiktas before turning pro in the league. The Rockets built their frontcourt around him last season, and nothing in his situation suggests that changes for 2026-27. He is not listed on the injury report, and there is no injury history on file, so he heads into the year as a full participant in training camp and preseason work.
Last Season By The Numbers
In 2025-26, Sengun played 72 games for Houston, averaging 33.3 minutes a night. He put up 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, with 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks. He shot 51.9 percent from the field, 30.5 percent from three, and 69.1 percent from the line, good for a true shooting mark of 56.9 percent. His usage rate sat at 25.9 percent, and Houston was plus-2.8 points per 100 with him on the floor. Those are the numbers Houston will lean on as a baseline heading into the new season.
A Snapshot From Last Season
One box score on file shows what Sengun is capable of on a given night. On October 21, 2025, against Oklahoma City, he went for 39 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in 48.9 minutes, with a plus-9.0 rating in a loss. That kind of near-40-point, double-double, near-double-figure-assist line is the ceiling Rockets fans point to when they talk about his upside as a playmaking center. It came in a defeat, but it showed the full offensive package: scoring, rebounding and passing all in the same game.
Health Heading Into The Season
Sengun is not on the injury report, and there is no injury history listed for him. That is a clean bill of health as Houston opens the 2026-27 season. For a center who logged 33.3 minutes a game and 72 appearances last season, staying off the injury list matters. There is nothing in the record right now suggesting any limitation on his workload or role heading into the opener.
