Alperen u015eengün has arguably been the Houston Rockets' most valuable player across the first half of the 2022-23 season, and on Wednesday, the second-year center checked off a major career milestone.
u015eengün finished with an even 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the Rockets’ 135-115 loss to the Sacramento Kings, their eighth straight defeat and their 13th loss across the last 14 games. But while Houston’s lead guards have posted inconsistent production, Sengun continues to shine.
His performance in Sacramento made NBA history, as he became the league's youngest center (20 years, 171 days) to record a triple-double.
