Top Fred VanVleet News

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Limited during Tuesday's practice

    VanVleet didn't participate during the portion of Tuesday's practice that was open to the media, but coach Ime Udoka said the point guard was active for the rest of the session, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

    VanVleet missed a Dec. 8 win over the Clippers due to a knee issue, marking his second absence of the season, and he's totaled only 16 points (6-28 FG, 3-20 3Pt) over two appearances since returning to action. It's unclear if his prior knee issue is related to his current struggles or his limitations during Tuesday's practice. However, more clarity will come when the Rockets release their injury report for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, which should drop Wednesday afternoon.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Goes 1-of-11 from three

    VanVleet produced eight points (3-15 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 loss to Oklahoma City.

    VanVleet felt the full force of the Thunder defense, shooting 1-of-11 from the three-point line. It's been a disappointing start to the season for VanVleet, at least from a production standpoint. Across 24 games, he is averaging 15.3 points, 6.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 35.4 minutes per game, shooting 37.7 percent from the floor. Although efficiency has never been a strong point for VanVleet, the hope is that he can improve in that area as the season continues to progress.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Says he will play Wednesday

    VanVleet (knee) said Tuesday that he is good to go against the Warriors on Wednesday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    VanVleet missed Sunday's game against the Clippers with a bruised right knee, his first missed game since Nov. 11. He's expected to be a full go Wednesday, however, meaning Amen Thompson will likely shift back to the bench. VanVleet is averaging 16.0 points and 5.9 assists through 22 regular-season games so far.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Won't play Sunday

    VanVleet (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    VanVleet is set to miss his first game since Nov. 11 due to a bruised right knee. Amen Thompson will draw the start at point guard in his place, and Reed Sheppard and Aaron Holiday are also candidates for extra work in VanVleet's absence.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Iffy to face Clippers

    VanVleet is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a right knee contusion.

    Even though a knee contusion shouldn't be anything to worry about in most cases, the Rockets are being cautious with their star floor general. The questionable tag suggests Houston will take a cautious approach regarding VanVleet's status, but a decision regarding his availability will probably be made closer to the 9 p.m. ET tipoff. If VanVleet can't go, then Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard and Aaron Holiday are expected to see more minutes.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Will play Thursday

    VanVleet (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

    VanVleet went unscathed through warmups, so the veteran floor general will be available for this contest against the Warriors. The veteran point guard hasn't missed a game since Nov. 11, and he'll keep that streak alive Thursday. VanVleet is averaging 19.1 points, 6.1 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game over his last 10 starts.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Expected to play Thursday

    VanVleet (knee), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors, will go through warmups with the intention of playing, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    VanVleet is questionable due to a right knee contusion, but he is expected to suit up barring any setbacks during warmups. The veteran point guard hasn't missed a game since Nov. 11, and in his last five outings (all starts), VanVleet averaged 19.8 points, 5.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 0.6 steals across 37.6 minutes per game.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Questionable to play Thursday

    VanVleet is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors due to a right knee contusion.

    The veteran floor general has been a key part of the Rockets' impressive campaign, and not having him running the offense could be a huge blow for Houston. If he doesn't play Thursday, then Reed Sheppard, Aaron Holiday and Amen Thompson are all candidates to see more minutes in the backcourt.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Huge regression in loss

    VanVleet registered 13 points (6-17 FG, 1-10 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 120-111 loss to Sacramento.

    After posting a season-high 38 points in his precious game, VanVleet came crashing back to Earth on Tuesday with one of his lowest totals of the season. Since joining the Rockets, VanVleet has been notoriously streaky, matching surprise triumphs with mediocre lows. It's evened out to a 16.1-point scoring average this season, but the veteran's role won't change because of an occasional poor shooting performance.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Posts season-high 38 points

    VanVleet closed with 38 points (10-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 13-14 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over the Thunder.

    VanVleet turned in a masterful performance in a signature win against the Thunder. Oklahoma City tried to slow him down, but VanVleet made them pay at the charity stripe. VanVleet has successfully avoided discipline after last week's ejection, which involved an argument between VanVleet and an official about an obvious missed call.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Won't be suspended

    VanVleet won't be suspended for Saturday's incident with an official that resulted in an ejection, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

    The NBA acknowledged an incorrect call made against VanVleet, but the guard apologized for his unprofessionalism after the fact. He's expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Ejected late in fourth quarter

    VanVleet amassed eight points (4-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes before getting ejected from Saturday's 104-98 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    VanVleet had a woeful performance Saturday, missing all six of his three-point attempts, struggling to get into a rhythm offensively and getting ejected in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. Don't be surprised if VanVleet receives some kind of suspension, as he was ejected after making contact with an official and appearing to poke the referee's eye. VanVleet should continue to operate as one of the Rockets' primary options on offense, but there's no doubt he's been struggling with his shot this season, shooting 30.5 percent from deep.
