NBA Rockets suffered heavy blow: defender Van Vreett torn ACL & completely reimbursed for the season

On September 23, according to the Rockets' reporters, defender champion Van Vreet suffered an ACL torn in training, and the season will be completely reimbursed. At present, the Rockets' medical team is actively diagnosing and discussing treatment plans, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Rockets, who have been recruiting and upgrading to the offseason in the new season.

Van Van Vreet refused to execute the player option contract for the next season of $44.9 million, and then chose to renew the Rockets for two years and $50 million, hoping to work with Durant to sprint for the second championship trophy of his career again, and also saved the Rockets a lot of salary space to help sign and upgrade.

Van Variett plays as a guard in the organization and is also a champion guard star. He plays for the Rockets in the 2024-2025 season. He plays a total of 60 games in the regular season, and averages 35.2 minutes per game, scoring 14.1 points + 3.7 rebounds + 5.6 assists + 1.6 steals + 0.4 blocks; he plays 7 games against the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs, averaging 40.0 minutes per game, scoring 18.7 points + 4.1 rebounds + 4.4 assists + 1.0 steals + 0.3 blocks, shooting percentage is 43.0%, three-point shooting percentage is 100% and free throw shooting percentage is 100%.

If Van Vreet is really completely reimbursed for the season, then the Rockets may make Amen Thompson truly a point guard. After all, Van Vreet was injured last season and he organized the team to connect the whole team, while Shepard and Aaron Holiday rotated as substitutes. Of course, the Rockets can also use the exception of Van Vreet's injury to continue upgrading their trades, but the remaining point guards in the market are Ben Simmons and Westbrook.
