Tari Eason News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

Questionable to play Sunday Eason (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

Impact Eason has missed the Rockets' last four games due to a right ankle sprain, but the fourth-year pro has an opportunity to return for Sunday's contest. His return would likely result in Josh Okogie reverting to the bench. Across his eight outings prior to his injury, Eason averaged 12.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks over 26.1 minutes per game.

Ruled out for Friday Eason (ankle) won't play Friday versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Eason is set to miss his fourth consecutive game, but he does appear to be getting close, as Friday was the first time he'd received the "questionable" tag since going down with the ankle injury. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Pelicans, and for now, he should be considered questionable for that one.

Ruled out for Thursday Eason (ankle) won't play Thursday versus the Thunder.

Impact Thursday will mark the third consecutive game on the sidelines for Eason, but perhaps he'll be able to get back out there for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves. Aaron Holiday and Josh Okogie have alternated starts the past two games with Eason unavailable, so it'll be interesting to see who gets the call Wednesday evening.

Won't return vs. Portland Eason will not return to Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a right ankle sprain, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Eason logged under 16 minutes before exiting Friday's contest with 8:32 remaining in the third quarter, and he'll finish with six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Kings.

Fails to beat clock in final shot Eason ended with 15 points (5-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 103-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Although Eason sank the potential game-winner with time expiring, the shot was waved off after the team cleared the bench, assuming a victory. Eason was a great help to Houston with Alperen Sengun (ankle) sidelined, and he led the squad with 13 boards. He fared much better than teammate Jabari Smith, who fell short of a decent result after projections placed him with a higher total in the injury scenario.

Maintaining starting role Eason finished with 12 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 100-97 win over Phoenix.

Impact Eason appears to be cementing himself as a starter for the Rockets, which is perhaps solidified even more by the absence of Alperen Sengun (ankle). Eason has averaged 13.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.1 minutes per contest over his last six games, shooting 44.0 percent from beyond the arc as well.

Good to go Thursday Eason (illness) will play Thursday against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact Eason was able to shake off his questionable tag for this contest. With Steven Adams (ankle) and Clint Capela (illness) sidelined, the Rockets could utilize smaller lineups Thursday to the benefit of someone like Eason.
