red VanVleet recently suffered a torn ACL, according to NBA Insider Shams Charania. The Houston Rockets point guard sustained the injury during an unofficial team minicamp in the Bahamas, as reported by Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports. The one-time All-Star signed a two-year, $50 million deal with the Rockets this offseason.
This injury is a significant setback for the Rockets, who entered the new season with high aspirations after adding future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant to their roster. Houston is still considered a contender in the Western Conference, but they now face the challenge of addressing their depth at the point guard position, as VanVleet will require surgery on his right knee to repair his ACL.
