Top Fred VanVleet News

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Four swipes vs. Memphis

    VanVleet finished with 22 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, four assists and four steals over 41 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 victory over the Grizzlies.

    VanVleet finished Thursday's contest as the Rockets' third-leading scorer behind Alperen Sengun (32) and Jalen Green (27). VanVleet led both teams with four steals, and he has logged at least three steals in four of his last six games. Over that span, he has averaged 14.2 points, 5.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 steals over 38.5 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Not listed on injury report

    VanVleet (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against Memphis.

    VanVleet bumped knees with an opposing player and checked out of the game with 3:03 remaining in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 135-112 win over the Wizards, but it doesn't sound like the issue will be a factor moving forward. The veteran point guard has averaged 13.1 points, 6.3 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 36.3 minutes per game over his last 12 appearances.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Exits early Tuesday

    VanVleet bumped knees with an opposing player and checked out of the game with 3:03 remaining in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 135-112 win over the Wizards, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports. He finished with 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 assists, four steals, one rebound and one block across 38 minutes.

    Though he asked to be taken out of the game before retreating to the locker room, VanVleet downplayed the injury after the contest, calling it "nothing serious," according to Ben DuBose of USA Today. The Rockets were up by 20 points at the time VanVleet exited the game, and Houston's other four starters were also pulled from the game at the same time. VanVleet's status will still be worth monitoring heading into Thursday's game against Memphis.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Swipes season-high six steals

    VanVleet closed Wednesday's 110-99 win over the Mavericks with five points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and six steals across 42 minutes.

    VanVleet's six steals marked a season high and was one shy of his career high. However, his shot fell apart in the process, breaking a streak of four double-digit scoring performances. The point guard has dealt with ups and downs this year when it comes to his shot. Even though his field-goal percentage is getting back on track, he can't seem to find his touch from deep. VanVleet is on pace for a career-low 32.0 percent three-point shooting mark.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Ejected against Heat

    VanVleet was ejected in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Heat, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    VanVleet was ejected in the final minute of the fourth quarter of Sunday's game after receiving two technical fouls for arguing with a referee over a five-second inbounding violation call. He'll finish with 16 points (6-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks over 38 minutes.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Productive against T-Wolves

    VanVleet finished Friday's 113-112 loss to Minnesota with 18 points (6-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one block across 39 minutes.

    The veteran point guard continued his recent hot streak from long range, and VanVleet has gone 15-for-30 on three-point attempts over the last three contests. His overall offensive game remains inconsistent, however -- over his last 12 appearances, VanVleet's averaging 16.5 points, 5.8 assists, 4.8 boards, 3.2 three-pointers and 0.8 steals, but he's also shooting just 36.4 percent from the floor.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Strong output in win Thursday

    VanVleet finished with 25 points (8-15 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 128-111 victory over New Orleans.

    VanVleet has been enduring a rough patch of late, including a four-game stretch between Dec. 11 and Dec. 22 in which he averaged 7.8 points per game while shooting 21.7 percent from the floor, but he's been turning things around of late. The veteran floor general has reached the 20-point mark in back-to-back games for the first time since a back-to-back set on Nov. 17 and Nov. 18. His December numbers still look subpar compared to his regular standards. Still, the last two games offer a glimpse of hope for fantasy managers who continue to trust VanVleet in most formats.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Puts up 20 points

    VanVleet had 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 29 minutes during Monday's 114-101 win over the Hornets.

    VanVleet was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice for unknown reasons, but he was never listed on the injury report. He's had a relatively quiet December, posting averages of 14.4 points, 5.4 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.1 three-pointers over his last eight games. During that span, he shot just 34.2 percent from the field and 24.6 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Absent from injury report

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

    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.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: 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, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

    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.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: 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.

    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.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: 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.

    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.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Won't play Sunday

    VanVleet (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    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.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Iffy to face Clippers

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

    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.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Will play Thursday

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

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

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Expected to play Thursday

    VanVleet (knee), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors, will go through warmups with the intention of playing, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    VanVleet is questionable due to a right knee contusion, but he 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.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Questionable to play Thursday

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

    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.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: 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.

    After posting a season-high 38 points in his precious game, VanVleet came crashing back to Earth on 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, but the veteran's role won't change because of an occasional poor shooting performance.
