Out four weeks with fractured thumb
Head coach Ime Udoka told reporters Saturday that Sheppard fractured his right thumb and will be out for at least four weeks, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Analysis
The rookie first-round pick was already ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans. However, further tests have revealed that Sheppard is dealing with a much more serious injury that will keep him out of action until at least early April. Sheppard's absence gives Cam Whitmore, Jae'Sean Tate and Aaron Holiday the opportunity to earn more minutes and a bigger role off the Rockets' bench over the next month.

Ruled out for Saturday
Sheppard is out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans due to a right thumb injury.
Analysis
Sheppard has been diagnosed with an avulsion on his right thumb, and while it should be a long-term issue, it's severe enough to sideline the rookie for at least one game. Sheppard's next chance to play will come against the Magic on Monday, although it's worth noting that his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions.

Returning to bench
Sheppard isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Pacers.
Analysis
Sheppard was inserted into the starting lineup Monday with Amen Thompson (shoulder) and Fred VanVleet (ankle) both out. However, Thompson's return to the lineup Tuesday will send the rookie guard back to the bench. Sheppard is averaging 4.0 points and 1.7 rebounds in 11.8 minutes across his previous 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Logs career-high 25 points
Sheppard accumulated 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's 137-128 loss to the Thunder.
Analysis
Sheppard recorded a career-high 25 points in just his third time playing 20-plus minutes this season. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2024 Draft received his first career start Monday, as Fred VanVleet (ankle) and three more of the club's usual starters were sidelined. Sheppard's level of play Monday bodes well for his chances of cracking the rotation when the club is fully healthy, though he'll still have to compete for playing time on a stacked roster.

Running with starters Monday
Sheppard will start in Monday's game against the Thunder, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Sheppard will receive the starting nod for the first time in his career due to Fred VanVleet (ankle) being sidelined. Houston will be without four of its usual starters Monday, meaning the club's second unit will have to step up. Over his last 10 outings, Sheppard has averaged 4.0 points across 11.8 minutes per game.
