Injury of Young Star Alperen Şengün

Alperen Şengün played for Bandırma BK between 2018 and 2020. After wearing the Beşiktaş jersey for the 2020–2021 season, he was selected by the Houston Rockets in the 2021 NBA Draft and started his NBA career in the 2021–2022 season.

An injury in the final minutes of the match between the Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings could mark a significant turning point in his career. The injury could put Şengün through a physically and mentally challenging period.

Following the moment of the injury, his loved ones were extremely worried due to the bad twist of his knee. Subsequent theories only worsened the situation. Among these theories were injuries that could end his season, such as a meniscus tear or tearing of the anterior cruciate ligaments.

However, according to an announcement by Adrian Wojnarowski, the injury wasn’t serious, and he was lucky. Currently, with a severe sprain in his ankle and a bruise in his knee, it’s unclear when Alperen Şengün will return to the court.

With his latest statements, Şengün thanked his supporters for standing by him and being concerned, reassuring them that his injury was not severe.

We hope that Alperen Şengün will step onto the court again soon and continue to make a name for himself in NBA history with various successes, making Turks even prouder.
