DALLAS (AP) \u2014 Houston center Alperen Sengun left the Rockets’ loss to Dallas on Saturday night only 1:04 into play after spraining his right ankle.<\/p>\n
Sengun landed awkwardly after grabbing a defensive rebound and fell to the court. As he got into a sitting position, he grabbed at his ankle. He limped to the bench and was soon led to the locker room. The team said at halftime that he wouldn’t return to the game.<\/p>\n
