Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet has suffered a torn right ACL and will likely miss the entire 2025-26 NBA season. News of VanVleet's knee injury was first reported by Shams Charania of ESPN.

The injury occurred during a team minicamp in the Bahamas. He is scheduled to have immediate surgery this week, league sources told ClutchPoints on Monday afternoon.

VanVleet, 31, joined the Rockets in 2023 and instantly became a major part of their revival in the Western Conference since trading former league MVP James Harden during the 2020-21 season.

With VanVleet as the team's primary point guard last season, Houston won 52 games and claimed the 2-seed in the conference. The Rockets would go on to lose in seven games to the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.
