Fred VanVleet News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets | FOX Sports

Absent from injury report VanVleet (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Rockets' injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact VanVleet was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice for unknown reasons, but he'll be available to play New Orleans. In 24 appearances this season, VanVleet is averaging 15.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals across 35.5 minutes.

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, Ad...

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Won't play Sunday VanVleet (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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 here. VanVleet is averaging 19.1 points, 6.1 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game over his last 10 starts.

Impact VanVleet is questionable due to a right knee contusion, though 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.

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

Impact 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.

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.

Impact After posting a season-high 38 points in his precious game, VanVleet came crashing back to earth 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, and it's unlikely that he'll leave his starting post with the Rockets anytime soon.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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, hitting 13 of 14 free throws after drawing several fouls. VanVleet has successfully avoided discipline after last week's ejection, which involved argument between Van Vleet and an official about an obvious missed call.
