Ruled out for Sunday Eason (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact Eason will miss Sunday's contest after spraining his right ankle in Friday's loss to Portland. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Bulls. With the 24-year-old forward sidelined, Josh Okogie and Dorian Finney-Smith are candidates for increased playing time, while Jae'Sean Tate could enter the Houston rotation.

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.

Iffy for Thursday Eason (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Impact Eason is under the weather and is in jeopardy of missing Thursday's contest. If the 24-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Josh Okogie and Jae'Sean Tate are candidates for increased playing time. Eason has started three straight games, averaging 11.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 assists in 25.3 minutes per game during that span.

Keeps up strong defensive play Eason finished Monday's 126-119 win over the Pacers with 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.

Impact Eason continues to supply reliable numbers in the defensive categories, and he should stick with the first unit as long as Alperen Sengun (calf) remains sidelined. Over his last five games (three starts), Eason has averaged 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks in 21.9 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Offers efficient scoring in return Eason (lower leg) tallied 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 16 minutes Sunday in the Rockets' 125-124 overtime loss to the Kin...

Impact Eason made his first appearance for the Rockets since Nov. 14, after he had initially been sidelined due to a right oblique strain before having his return further delayed when he experienced general soreness in his left lower leg during the ramp-up process. The fourth-year forward was able to avoid a major setback due to the latter issue and excelled in his return Sunday, with his 16-point effort fueled by some red-hot shooting from downtown. A career 36.8 percent shooter from long distance, Eason shouldn't be relied upon to make a regular impact in that area, but he's proven to be an excellent per-minute contributor in the rebounds, steals and blocks categories. Eason could see his playing time tick up slightly in future games, though he'll have a ceiling on his minutes upside while the likes of Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun are all available in the Houston frontcourt.
