Dealing with ankle soreness Tate suffered a right ankle injury during Monday's preseason game against Memphis and is being sent for further evaluation, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Tate drew the start at power forward in Monday's exhibition, but he was forced to exit the contest after suffering the injury. His status for the rest of the game is unknown, but it wouldn't be surprising for the Rockets to hold him out as a precaution.

Impact Tate missed the preseason opener due to a sore left ankle and logged a limited practice on Wednesday but will be in the starting five Friday. The team held him out of Sunday's affair for precautionary reasons, so there should be little to no restrictions for Tate in Friday's game.

Impact Tate sat out the team's preseason opener due to a sore left ankle, but the issue has been reported as minor. After signing a three-year, $22.1 million contract this offseason, the undrafted product out of Ohio State will likely garner a major role for Houston in 2022-23.

Will sit out Sunday Tate will miss Sunday's preseason game versus the Spurs with a sore left ankle, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Tate would likely play Sunday if it were a regular season game, per Feigen. After signing a three-year deal this offseason, Tate should see a significant role for the Rockets in 2022-23. His ankle injury will likely not cause him to miss any regular-season action.

Cashes in with three-year deal Tate and the Rockets agreed to terms Thursday on a three-year, $22.1 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Earlier in the week, the Rockets declined Tate's team option for 2022-23 in order to facilitate signing him to this longer-term deal. As a result, Tate will go from making roughly $1.8 million to an average annual value of more than $7 million over the course of the deal. Undrafted out of Ohio State, Tate emerged as a key bench piece for Houston in 2020-21, when he averaged 11.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 made threes across 70 appearances. Tate essentially replicated that production last season, and the three-year agreement signals that Houston views the 26-year-old as part of its core. As of now, Tate projects to start at small forward as part of a lineup that will likely include Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, Kevin Porter and No. 3 overall pick Jabari Smith.

Impact Tate has been one of Houston's staples over the past two seasons, starting 135 of his 148 appearances. Last year, he averaged 11.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 26.4 minutes. Given the Rockets' current roster makeup, it appears Tate would be in line to continue starting at small forward if he remains with the franchise.

Houston intends to pick up option The Rockets intend to exercise the $1.9 million team option on Tate's contract, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Tate has spent both of his NBA seasons in Houston and averaged 11.8 points and 5.4 rebounds across 78 appearances last season. Houston selected two forwards -- Jabari Smith with the No. 3 overall pick and Tari Eason with the No. 17 pick -- in the 2022 NBA Draft, but it appears the Rockets still have a role for Tate during the upcoming season.

Finishes season on sour note Tate racked up five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 130-114 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Tate couldn't rack up any shot volume in the loss, resulting in one of his most meager totals of the season. Despite the disappointing final game, Tate's positional versatility should keep him around in Houston next season, unless their 2022 first-round pick makes him expendable.

Struggles from field in loss Tate contributed six points (2-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 118-105 loss to the Nets.

Impact Tate has failed to score in double figures in three of his last four appearances, but he salvaged his poor offensive performance Tuesday by grabbing nine rebounds -- his most since Feb. 16 -- and recording at least three steals for the sixth time this season. The undrafted wing out of Ohio State is averaging 11.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists across 76 appearances this season, which is nearly identical to his averages from his rookie campaign.

The 26-year-old finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and one assist in 11 minutes, and he should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with Denver until his status is updated.
