Fred VanVleet Out for Houston Rockets Due to Right Ankle Soreness

Fred VanVleet will miss the game against the Los Angeles Clippers on April 9, 2025, due to right ankle soreness. This is not the first time VanVleet has dealt with ankle issues, having missed multiple games earlier this year for similar reasons.

VanVleet has played 57 games this season, averaging 14.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. With VanVleet out, Aaron Holiday is expected to start at point guard, potentially affecting the Rockets' performance against the Clippers.
