Houston Rockets player Alperen Sengun returned from injury on November 1, 2026, in a 119-98 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder. During the game, Sengun recorded 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists, narrowly missing a triple-double.

By November 5, 2026, Sengun achieved his 13th career triple-double with 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists in a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite his individual performance, the Rockets lost to the Timberwolves 117-107. The loss was driven by a fourth-quarter struggle in which Houston shot only 7-for-16 and committed four turnovers. Minnesota utilized a late offensive push led by LaMelo Ball, Jonathan Kuminga, and Ayo Dosunmu to secure the road victory. While Kevin Durant added 21 points and Fred VanVleet scored 18 for Houston, a 10-2 run by Minnesota in the final period shifted the momentum.
