Dealing with illness Tate is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to an illness.

Impact Tate was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. Dillon Brooks (ankle) and Tari Eason (lower leg) are also questionable for Sunday.

Available Wednesday Tate (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Tate was one of several Houston players who were listed questionable for this NBA Cup matchup, but his availability suggests he should be good to see minutes off the bench. However, injuries have limited Tate to just nine appearances and 6.2 minutes per game since the beginning of November. He's not likely to see a significant role off the bench in this contest.

Questionable to play Wednesday Tate is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors due to a lower back injury.

Impact Tate has been dealing with a lower-back issue for quite some time, but he managed to suit up for Sunday's game against the Clippers, logging 18 minutes off the bench. Injuries have limited Tate to just nine appearances and 6.2 minutes per game since the beginning of November, so he's not playing enough to be worthy of fantasy consideration.

DECEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available Sunday Tate (back) will play Sunday against the Clippers.

Impact Tate has been dealing with a lower back issue, but the medical staff has given him the green light for Sunday's clash. He hasn't been a consistent member of the rotation, so he's unlikely to make much of an impact.

Questionable to play vs. Clips Tate (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Tate's status for Sunday's game is up in the air due to lower back pain. Even if he were to be sidelined, his absence wouldn't influence the Rockets' rotation all too much. Tate has been a healthy scratch in five of the last six games, and he hasn't played more than nine minutes across his nine outings.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for camp Tate (ankle) will be a full participant at Houston's training camp next Tuesday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Tate missed the final six games of the 2023-24 campaign with a right ankle sprain. He's been scrimmaging with contact since last week, however, so it's unlikely that he will have limitations during camp. Tate finished the regular season with averages of 4.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.9 minutes across 65 appearances.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Option picked up by club The Rockets exercised Tate's (ankle) $7.57 million team option for 2024-25 on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Houston's decision to retain Tate is somewhat surprising given that he looked to be a fringe rotation player toward the end of the 2023-24 season before he was shut down in April with a right ankle sprain. However, the 28-year-old brings value in his ability to defend multiple positions and is comfortable taking on a lower-usage role, which makes him an ideal fit next to higher-priority offensive options such as Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun. He should be fully recovered from the ankle sprain well in advance of training camp -- if he's not healthy already -- and depending on what the complexion of the Houston roster looks like in the aftermath of the offseason, Tate could resurface as a more consistent part of head coach Ime Udoka's rotation.

JUNE 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down for rest of season Coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that isn't unlikely Tate (ankle) will play again in 2023-24, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Impact Tate has already been ruled out for the third straight game Tuesday due to a right ankle sprain and is now being shut down for the rest of the season, with Houston eliminated from playoff contention. The 28-year-old forward will likely end the 2023-24 campaign averaging 4.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.9 minutes across 65 appearances.

APRIL 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Tate (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.

Impact Tate will miss a third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Utah.

APRIL 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Tate (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Tate has struggled to see consistent minutes off the bench in recent games, and the ankle injury will keep him sidelined for Sunday's contest. His next chance to play will come against Orlando on Tuesday, but Tate won't carry a lot of fantasy upside outside of very deep formats when available.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Tate is out for Friday's game versus the Heat due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Tate has played just 22 total minutes across Houston's last five games, so his absence shouldn't significantly impact the team's rotation. Tate's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Tuesday Tate had two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and two blocks across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Tate moved back into the rotation Tuesday, playing just his second game in the past two weeks. Although injuries to other players may have opened up some playing time for Tate, there is no reason to grab him outside of very deep formats.

MARCH 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Saturday Tate (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Hawks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The Rockets are going to be shorthanded Saturday with Cam Whitmore (ankle) and Alperen Sengun (back) being the latest players to hit the sidelines. Tate's versatility on both ends of the court could see him pick up a handful of extra minutes as a result.

FEBRUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Tate is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Hawks due to a sore right ankle, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Impact Tate presumably picked up the injury in Friday's loss to the Raptors. With Jabari Smith (illness) questionable plus Cam Whitmore (ankle) and Tari Eason (lower leg) out, Tate could potentially see a bigger role than usual if he ultimately gets the green light.

FEBRUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go against Charlotte Tate (wrist) is available for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Tate has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing Houston's previous contest with a wrist injury. Tate is averaging 1.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 13.0 minutes across his last five appearances.

JANUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Friday Tate (wrist) is being listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Tate sat out Wednesday's game due to the wrist issue, and now he's in danger of missing his second game in a row. If he is forced to spend another game on the sidelines, his minutes would be divvied up between Aaron Holiday and Jock Landale.

JANUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Tate (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Portland, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact With Tate watching from the sidelines Wednesday evening, guys like Aaron Holiday and Jock Landale will likely receive a bump in minutes. However, neither of those guys are particularly attractive targets on a busy Wednesday night.

JANUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Wednesday Tate (left wrist sprain) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact Tate and Jabari Smith Jr. (left ankle) are late additions to Wednesday's injury report, and if they're both forced to the sidelines, that would open up some additional opportunities for guys like Cam Whitmore, Aaron Holiday and Jock Landale. Stay tuned.

JANUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Tate will come off the bench for Saturday's game against Boston.

Impact This is an expected move for Houston with Dillon Brooks (oblique) returning from injury. Tate will likely see his minutes take a sizable hit going forward with the Rockets nearing full strength.

JANUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores nine points as starter Tate closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 120-113 loss to the Heat.

Impact With Tari Eason (lower leg) and Dillon Brooks (oblique) sidelined, Tate has drawn seven straight starts. During that stretch, he's averaged just 6.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 27.1 minutes per game. Despite his elevated role, Tate doesn't have much fantasy upside at this point.

JANUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sticking in starting five Tate is starting Monday's game against the Pistons, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Impact The Rockets initially reported that Jeff Green would get the start at small forward ahead of Tate, but the team has since confirmed that Tate will slot in for his third straight start.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to bench Tate isn't starting Monday's game against the Pistons, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against 76ers Tate will start Friday's game against the 76ers, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact The Rockets will be without both Dillon Brooks (oblique) and Jabari Smith (ankle) Friday, and it sounds like they could miss additional time. Tate has only one start to his name this season, and in that game he put up seven points with two rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in 24 minutes.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
