The qualifier is not strictly 65 countable games.
Another way to qualify is:
The player played in at least 62 countable regular-season games, suffered a season-ending injury, and played in at least 85% of the regular-season games played by his team prior to the player suffering said injury.
Sengun meets that criteria - 63 countable games, season-ender injury, and before his injury he had played 63 of 64.
