Will rest Thursday Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said that Eason will be out for Thursday's game in Atlanta due to right ankle injury management, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Houston will exercise caution in holding out Eason and Dorian Finney-Smith for the second leg of a back-to-back set after both played in Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Catches fire from three Eason finished Monday's 108-99 victory over the Grizzlies with 17 points (6-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals in 27 minutes.

Impact Eason made the most of a starting nod against the Grizzlies. He knocked down four threes en route to 17 points. Eason was also productive on defense by collecting two steals, one block and seven rebounds. If Eason sustains this two-way production he will merit more starting opportunities. He's averaging 24 minutes per game this season which is just a tick below last season's average of 24.9.

Starting in return Monday Eason is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Monday, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Eason was held out of Friday's win over Detroit while managing a right ankle.

Off injury report for Monday Eason (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Eason sat out Friday's win over Detroit -- the second half of a back-to-back set -- due to right ankle injury management. However, he's set to return to the lineup Monday. The 24-year-old forward has appeared in just two of Houston's past eight games, averaging 9.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 assists across 24.0 minutes per contest off the bench over that stretch.

Won't play Friday Eason (rest) will not play Friday against the Pistons.

Limited in return Eason ended with six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Eason returned from a five-game absence as a result of an ankle injury, logging 20 minutes off the bench. Prior to the injury, Eason had been playing his best basketball of the season, having started in eight straight games. While this wasn't his best performance, he is definitely someone who needs to be added in all formats moving forward.

Won't start in return Eason (ankle) won't start Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Eason is available to return from a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, though he'll come off the bench and could operate on a minutes restriction in his return. In 12 outings off the bench so far this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 11.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.

Available to play Eason (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Spurs, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Impact Eason is set to return from a five-game absence Tuesday evening, so he'll likely have some minutes restrictions in his first game back. Eason's return will likely result in less playing time for Jae'Sean Tate, Josh Okogie and Dorian Finney-Smith.

Iffy for Tuesday Eason (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Eason is in jeopardy of missing his sixth consecutive contest due to a right ankle sprain. If the 24-year-old forward isn't cleared to return, Josh Okogie would likely see increased playing time, while Jae'Sean Tate could remain in the Houston rotation. In five appearances this month, Eason has averaged 13.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 26.6 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Eason (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Eason was listed as questionable leading up to tipoff, but he won't be able to suit up for Sunday's matchup. Josh Okogie should draw another start in Eason's absence.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Questionable with ankle sprain Eason is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota with a right ankle sprain.

Impact Eason is looking to end a three-game absence with the injury. If the forward remains sidelined, more playing time would be available to Dorian Finley-Smith and Josh Okogie in the frontcourt.

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.
