The Houston Rockets' Great Dilemma after VanVleet's Injury

There is a lack of a playmaker and no major solutions. Houston Rockets have seen how part of the favoritism for glory they held a few days ago has diminished due to Fred VanVleet's injury, the only true point guard on their roster. It remains to be seen how they will try to fill a void that could last the entire season, with NBA rumors suggesting they might wait a few months.

He was a key piece of the team, providing perimeter defense, experience, intangibles, and playmaking. However, the serious injury to Fred VanVleet leaves the giants in their roster without a crucial compass. Since the extent of the injury was known, which could keep the player out for the entire season, fans began to speculate about an immediate replacement, given the lack of current alternatives.

According to the latest NBA rumors, the intention of the Houston Rockets management is to stand still, giving minutes to Aaron Holiday, JD Davison, Kevon Harris, and even Reed Sheppard, and testing very tall lineups where players like Tate, Thompson, or Okogie take on ball-handling duties, organizing the offense around Sengun, distributing from the top, and relying on Durant's talent. They do leave open the possibility of making signings in December or January. It's clear that Fred VanVleet will be missed by the Texas franchise, whose favoritism has been dampened.
