Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Bounces back in win
Sheppard recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks across 26 minutes of Wednesday's 140-127 preseason win over Utah.
After a quiet opener with seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes of Monday's 122-113 preseason win over Atlanta, Sheppard found his rhythm Wednesday. He's now started in two straight games, and he seems to be the heavy favorite to be named the fifth starter ahead of Opening Night.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Quiet in preseason opener
Sheppard produced seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes of Monday's 122-113 preseason win over Atlanta.
Sheppard started this game at point guard and had a modest workload along with the rest of the first unit. Most of the offense flowed through Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson, while Kevin Durant got the night off for rest. This wasn't the best performance for Reed, obviously, but it's a good sign if he's getting the first chance to win the starting point guard job.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Starting in preseason opener
Sheppard (rest) is available and starting in Monday's preseason game against the Hawks, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
The second-year guard will get the starting nod in Houston's preseason opener and will look to earn the starting job ahead of the regular season with Fred VanVleet (knee) on the shelf. Sheppard appeared in just 52 regular-season games (three starts) and played a limited role in his rookie season, during which he averaged 4.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 12.6 minutes per contest.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Shut down for rest of Summer League
The Rockets will hold Sheppard out for the remainder of the Las Vegas Summer League, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
Sheppard isn't dealing with an injury, but the Rockets are opting to hold him out for the rest of their time in Las Vegas in order to evaluate other players. While he wasn't efficient from the floor in his two appearances this summer (36.3 percent shooting from the field, 31.8 percent from three-point range), Sheppard totaled 46 points, 11 rebounds, eight steals, five assists, and one block. Following a disappointing rookie campaign, the 2024 No. 3 overall pick will now set his sights toward earning a larger role off the bench in 2025-26.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Scores 18 in SL loss
Sheppard recorded 18 points (6-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four steals, three rebounds and an assist in 28 minutes during Sunday's 98-83 Summer League loss to the Pistons.
Sheppard led Houston's Summer League squad in scoring for a second straight game as he continues to see a heavy offensive workload. While he seems to be the go-to player on the offensive end for Summer League, he has struggled with efficiency, shooting just 35.5 percent from the floor through two games. A bright spot for Sheppard has been his work on the defensive end, where he has collected eight steals over the last two contests.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Dazzles in Las Vegas
Sheppard generated 28 points (10-25 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and three blocks over 33 minutes of Friday's 95-92 Summer League loss to the Clippers.
Sheppard had a disappointing rookie season for a No. 3 overall pick. He played in just 52 regular-season games and averaged 12.5 minutes while logging 35/34/81 shooting splits. He could be in line for a sophomore leap, as he dominated his first Summer League game of 2025, posting game highs in points and steals while pacing the Rockets in rebounds as well. With Houston retooling its championship-contending roster by adding Kevin Durant, Sheppard will likely be relied upon as one of the top guards off the bench.
