NBA Rockets guard Van Villet updated: The operation went smoothly, I will return perfectly to help Houston win the championship!

NBA Rockets champion guard Van Villet updated his social media: "

Thank you for your attention and support. I will work hard to recover. I will solve this little trouble immediately. Wait patiently and I will turn back! Waiting for the day of return, we will definitely bring another championship trophy to Houston. The Rockets will definitely rise and break through the siege and reach the peak moment again!"

Van Villet suffered an ACL torn in offseason training for surgical treatment. According to the medical team's prediction, he will miss at least 7-8 months. The regular season of the 2025-2026 season will definitely be completely reimbursed. If the Rockets can finally advance to the playoffs, Van Villet will recover smoothly, and there may be a chance to return and continue to play in the playoffs. The Rockets management is actively adjusting the strategy of organizing guards, and prepares to allow Amen Thompson and Shepard to take on the heavy role of point guards in the early stage of the new season to fully train young players. At the same time, Shin Kyung and Durant will also participate in the organizational connection work!

Van Vliott performed averagely in the regular season in 2024-2025, but in the first round of the playoffs against the Warriors, he had excellent offense and defense. He averaged 40 minutes per game, scored 18.7 points + 4.1 rebounds + 4.4 assists + 1.0 steals + 0.3 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 43.0%, three-point shooting percentage of 43.0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%, becoming the Rockets' most stable core player!
