Fred VanVleet’s Shocking Injury: Can the Rockets Uncover a Hidden Point Guard Savior?
Houston Rockets starting point guard Fred VanVleet suffered a torn right ACL last week during a team minicamp scrimmage in the Bahamas, multiple sources told Yahoo Sports. VanVleet, 31, is expected to undergo surgery later this week.
The news comes at a brutal time for the organization, with training camp just a week away and the franchise pivoting to a title pursuit following the offseason arrival of 14-time All-Star forward Kevin Durant. Over the past two seasons, VanVleet had established himself as the extension of head coach Ime Udoka on and off the court, providing Houston’s youth with structure, much-needed floor spacing and ball security. The Rockets rewarded him with a two-year, $50 million extension this offseason.
