In this story:

Fresh off a tough loss at home against the Golden State Warriors, the San Antonio Spurs are back in action against the Houston Rockets at the Frost Bank Center.

The two teams met a week ago in Houston, where Alperen Sengun scored a career-high 45 points as the Rockets beat the Spurs. But in tonight's meeting, the Spurs won't be dealing with him.

Sengun suffered a gruesome injury in Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings where he had to be placed in a wheelchair to go back to the locker room.

With Sengun out, the Spurs should try and take advantage with Victor Wembanyama in the middle and dominate the paint en route to victory.
