Cleared to play Thursday
Sengun (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
Sengun was initially listed as questionable after spraining his right ankle against the Spurs on Wednesday, but the fifth-year center has been officially cleared to play in Thursday's contest. He has averaged 20.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks over 34.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Questionable with ankle sprain
Sengun is questionable for Thursday's game against Atlanta due to a right ankle sprain, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
Sengun tweaked his ankle late in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs and was seen favoring it a bit, so the Rockets could take his status down to the wire Thursday. If the star big man is unable to play against the Hawks, Houston would be down to Clint Capela as its lone traditional big man. Josh Okogie and Jae'Sean Tate could also see some minutes at center in small-ball lineups.

Logs double-double in defeat
Sengun finished Wednesday's 111-99 loss to San Antonio with 18 points (7-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 36 minutes.
Analysis
Sengun was forced to leave the floor briefly with what appeared to be an ankle issue, but he returned shortly after the exit. He seemed to be fine, recording three rebounds, an assist and two points after checking back into the game. Although Sengun attempted 20 shots, he connected on only seven of them, a severe drop from his 15 of 17 converted shots during Monday's win against Memphis.

Briefly exits Wednesday
Sengun exited Wednesday's game against the Spurs in the fourth quarter due to an apparent right ankle issue, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com. However, he returned with 7:47 remaining.
Analysis
Sengun limped to the locker room but returned to the bench shortly thereafter. He appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest after checking back in.

Rolls to 33-point night
Sengun collected 33 points (15-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 108-99 victory over the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Sengun tied Kevin Durant for the team lead in scoring, though it was Sengun who was far more efficient on the offensive end. This marks his best scoring performance since Dec. 15, when he put up 33 points against Denver. The 23-year-old has now reached the 30-point threshold five times in 37 appearances so far this season.
