These chances have now dropped. News has come out stating star guard Fred VanVleet may miss the entire 2025-26 NBA season due to a torn ACL.

VanVleet averaged 14.1 points, 5.6 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game last season for Houston. It will be hard for the Rockets to overcome his numbers, and it will add more pressure on Durant, who will be turning 37 on September 29.
