This match in Sacramento will definitely have caused damage in the ranks of the Rockets since in addition to the loss of Alperen Sengun, perhaps until the end of the season, Houston made official the injury of Cam Whitmore. The rookie aggravated his right knee injury with a sprain of the ligament that connects the femur to the fibula (fibula).
His absence is estimated at three weeks, and the coach Ime Udoka did not close the door to a possible return before the end of the regular season, depending on the speed of his rehabilitation.
“He suffers from a sprain of the external lateral ligament”, said the Houston coach. “He felt some tension in his knee during the match. He had himself examined. He played despite that. We will see how he progresses with rehabilitation and treatment. We're talking about three weeks, but it could be shorter depending on how he reacts.”
A return towards the end of March would allow him to take part in around ten matches to end in the best possible way a first part of 2024 where he was able to show himself at an interesting level.
