This summer should be quite perfect for Van Jordan. He successfully reached a contract renewal with the Rockets ($50 million for two years) and was elected as the new chairman of the Players' Union.

Jaylen Green is gone, and Durant is here.

Gordon once expressed his dissatisfaction with the Rockets' young players constantly making the same mistakes, and later he left. Gordon is not suitable to be a mentor for young players, so the Rockets found Van Jordan.

Van Jordan revealed in an interview last season that he had noticed that Jaylen Green would be late when he was training with him. Van Jordan said: We started in the first week, just to communicate back and forth, and I want to help him change some of the old habits he might have developed before Dillon and I came.

Compared with the Silas era, Jaylen Green must have made progress, but his performance is extremely unstable and belongs to the nerve knife. Jaylen Green's performance in the playoffs last season should disappoint Van Jordan. Durant's arrival gave the latter hope of the Rockets' victory.

Van Jordan was very happy. He first took the initiative to go to Türkiye to train with Alperen Sengon, and recently formed the Bahamas mini training camp to prepare for the new season.

Unfortunately, Van Jordan was extremely happy and sad this time. He was injured unexpectedly when he was happy, and he was seriously injured. The Rockets have already lost a player before the Rockets have even opened the new season, and Houston's prospects for the championship have been cast a shadow.

Houston reporter Kelly Aiko revealed that Van Jordan was injured in a mini camp and will undergo surgery this week.

Medical expert Jeffries expects Van Jordan to miss all the Rockets' games in the new season due to a torn ACL, because the recovery time for such injuries is usually 9 to 12 months.

I believe Van Jordan should be very uncomfortable at this time, while many Rockets fans feel that the sky is about to collapse. Although Van Jordan's personal abilities are not as good as Harden, he plays a very important role in Uduka's system. Especially in the playoffs where the bayonets are popular, the Rockets cannot be without Van Jordan.

Houston reporter Adam Spolane posted the data. Last season's playoffs, the Rockets' offensive efficiency was 115.3, and after he left the court, the team's offensive efficiency was only 86.3.

Van Jordan averaged 3.9 three-pointers per game in the playoffs last season (third in the league), shooting percentage reached 43.5% (career high), and shooting percentage of 100% (first in the league). Although Van Jordan is only 1.83 meters, his defense is outstanding and is obviously stronger than Harden, which attracted Uduka.

Van Jordan is injured, who can take the Rockets? Houston reporter Ben Dubos said that Shepard's chance to prove that he has come and he will get more playing time than last season. In addition, Amen may be arranged by Uduka to start the starting point guard, Ethan or Finney Smith will start, and the Rockets' lineup will be taller.

Although Rockets general manager Stone is optimistic about Shepard, many fans expressed doubts about whether the white defender can take on the heavy responsibility.

Van Jordan played 73 regular season games in the Rockets' first season and only played 60 games in the second season. It seems that the new season will be 0 games. When Van Jordan was away, Uduka increased Amen's ball rights, and the latter made great progress.

Sengon proved that he had become stronger again through the European Championships. Amen also practiced hard during the offseason. With more ball rights, he is expected to achieve transformation in the new season. Previously, ESPN expert team predicted that the player who made the fastest progress in the new season would be ranked first.
