Fred VanVleet’s Shocking Injury: Can the Rockets Uncover a Hidden Point Guard Savior?
There is hope from VanVleet’s camp, as it seeks multiple opinions about potential recovery timetables, that the 31-year-old guard will be back by the postseason, but it’s not a very common occurrence.

In the meantime, training camp will become an even greater opportunity for the Rockets to experiment. Udoka will need to determine what his new-look starting lineup will be without VanVleet. The Rockets still boast one of the NBA’s deepest rosters heading into the season, with an abundance of length and defensive versatility Udoka can lean into. For example, Houston could start Thompson at point guard and flank him with Dorian Finney-Smith, Durant, Smith and starting center Alperen Şengün. Şengün, who is coming off an All-Star season and strong summer performance in EuroBasket, has all the makings of a superstar and is already a capable passing big. Durant is also an efficient ball-handler and can handle point-guard duties in spots.
