Houston Rockets integrate boxing into their off-season regimen, with Mark Owens guiding Ime Udoka, Fred VanVleet and teammates through reaction, footwork and core-centric drills. Boxing doubles as conditioning and a mental reset, aiding recovery and team chemistry. Sengun’s rehab benefited from low-impact boxing, while Owens’ reach extends to Amen Thompson, Jeff Green and Jock Landale, with Durant orbits as a potential future sparring partner. The program emphasizes growth mindset and ego-free work on the path to a tougher, more resilient season.
