Aiming to return before 2026 Eason (oblique) is targeting a late December return, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.

Impact Eason was given a four-to-six-week timetable for return after being diagnosed with a strained right oblique Nov. 15. He's on track to return near the six-week mark and is hopeful to make it back before the calendar flips to 2026. Look for guys like Josh Okogie, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green to continue to see more minutes while Eason is sidelined.

Rockets get devastating update on Tari Eason injury The Houston Rockets have come to rely on Tari Eason. Now, they'll have to live without him for a while.

To miss at least four weeks Eason (hip) is expected to miss four to six weeks, coach Ime Udoka announced Saturday, according to Rockets reporter Vaneesa Richardson.

Impact This is a tough blow for Houston, as they will be without one of their top forwards through the middle of December. The official diagnosis was a strained oblique after it was initially described as a contusion. With Eason sidelined, Josh Okogie could step into a larger role for the Rockets. Guys like Jeff Green and Jae'Sean Tate could potentially become more involved as well.

Stuffs stat sheet off bench in win Eason closed Wednesday's 124-109 win over Memphis with 16 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes.

Impact Eason returned to the bench for this game since Jabari Smith (ankle) moved back into the starting lineup after a one-game absence. However, that didn't affect his production. Eason has scored in double digits in five straight games now, averaging 15.8 points per game over that stretch and reaching the 15-point plateau three times. Eason endured a slow start to the season, but his play over that five-game stretch should earn him a regular spot in the rotation for the time being.
