A couple big returns at MSG, still no Middleton, the Rockets start their time without Sengun, and we have a lot of Q tags today (and we’re still waiting on Boston).
A lot to talk about with @MarkDank on the Injury Show.

Will be interesting to see if the Rockets look to add another big to the roster with Sengun likely missing the rest of the season. They would have to clear a roster spot in order to do so, and I’m not sure there is anyone available that Udoka would actually give playing time to – 8:51 PM

Sengun hasn’t yet been ruled out for the season, but there’s significant healing that would need to occur before he could be cleared to play again with Rockets’ regular-season ending on April 14, sources said. – 6:34 PM
With only 18 games remaining, this is probably a season-ending injury for Rockets center Alperen Sengun. Houston, which has won four of its last five, still has games against the Thunder, Mavericks (2), Timberwolves, Warriors and Clippers, so this could impact the playoff race. – 6:19 PM
