TARI EASON NEWS

Good to go against Memphis Eason (leg) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Eason has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with left lower leg soreness. The second-year forward should continue to be one of Houston's first options off the bench.

Questionable for Wednesday Eason is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies due to left lower leg soreness.

Impact Eason continues to deal with a left leg injury but has suited up in Houston's last eight contests. If the second-year forward is ruled out, Jae'Sean Tate and Reggie Bullock are candidates to receive increased minutes.

Posts double-double Eason accumulated 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 93-82 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Eason had his best outing of the season by a wide margin Monday, racking up the first double-double of the campaign and scoring a season-high mark in points as well. Eason logged more than 25 minutes for the first time in 2023-24, but he won't have any kind of fantasy appeal unless he finds a way to reach those numbers on a more regular basis.

Available Monday Eason (leg) will play Monday against San Antonio, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.

Impact After missing Houston's first six games of the season due to a stress fracture in his left leg, Eason's injury designation is more likely tied to routine maintenance than aggravations or new afflictions. Monday will mark his eighth consecutive appearance.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Monday Eason is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs due to left lower leg soreness.

Impact Eason has been dealing with a left lower leg injury throughout the season, but he has missed just one game over his last 13, which bodes well for his chances to suit up on Monday. Eason is averaging 6.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks in 18.9 minutes per game over his last seven appearances.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Eason (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Eason missed the start of the campaign due to a stress fracture in his left leg but has been a key rotation piece since making his debut Nov. 8. Across 10 appearances, the second-year forward has averaged 6.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 17.9 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Eason is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to an illness.

Impact Eason is a key part of the second unit for Houston. Over his last five games, he has averaged 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 18.5 minutes per game. If he's unable to play Wednesday, we could see more of Jae'Sean Tate.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Eason (leg) will play in Wednesday's game against Denver.

Impact Despite popping up on the injury report with a leg injury, Eason will give it a go against the Nuggets. Over his last three appearances, Eason is averaging 8.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals/blocks over 18.7 minutes.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Denver Eason (leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.

Impact Eason has played in Houston's last three contests but could sit out the second leg of the team's back-to-back Wednesday due to left lower leg soreness. Reggie Bullock and Jeff Green would be candidates to receive extended minutes if Eason is ruled out.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Eason (leg) is available for Tuesday's matchup versus Dallas.

Impact As expected, Eason has been upgraded from probable to available and will play in a third straight game. He's appeared in seven of Houston's last eight matchups, averaging 6.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 17.3 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Tuesday Eason (leg) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

Impact Eason's injury designation of lower left leg soreness has been a trend since his return from a stress fracture. Houston has set the precedent of giving Eason the occasional day of rest for injury management, but he appears on track to play Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will return Wednesday Eason (leg) isn't listed on the Rockets' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Eason took the second night of a back-to-back off Monday but will return to action Wednesday. In five appearances this season, the second-year forward has averaged 6.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 17.2 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to sit Monday Eason won't play Monday against the Warriors due to left leg injury management, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Eason appeared in a fifth consecutive game Sunday against the Lakers and tallied two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and a block in 17 minutes. However, the Rockets want to manage his workload after recovering from a stress fracture in his left leg, and he'll sit for the second half of a back-to-back set. Jae'Sean Tate and Cam Whitmore could see an uptick in playing time Monday, while Eason's next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Grizzlies.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Active Sunday Eason (injury management) is available to play Sunday against the Lakers.

Impact Eason has appeared in four consecutive games for the Rockets since returning from a stress fracture in his left leg, but Houston has been monitoring his workload carefully. He is averaging 17.3 minutes per game and will likely remain in a similar role Sunday.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face LAL Eason is questionable to face the Lakers on Sunday due to injury management on his left lower leg.

Impact Eason recorded 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's 106-100 loss to the Clippers, and given he missed the team's first six games while rehabbing from a stress fracture in his left leg, it makes sense for the Rockets to be cautious with his recovery process. Eason is averaging 7.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game to start the campaign.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double figures off bench Eason recorded 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's 106-100 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Eason has had his fair share of playing time off the bench over his first four appearances of the season, but Friday's matchup marked the first time he was on the court for at least 20 minutes. The 22-year-old responded well with an efficient performance from the field. While he's established a decent fantasy floor, he's unlikely to see significant upside as long as Dillon Brooks is healthy.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Crashes boards in season debut Eason finished Wednesday's 128-94 win over the Lakers with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 14 minutes.

Impact Eason missed Houston's first six games this season due to a stress fracture in his left leg, but he was healthy enough to suit up Wednesday. The 22-year-old provided a spark off the bench in what turned out to be blowout win, as he fell just one point and one rebound short of a double-double in only 14 minutes. Eason showcased the energy and nose for the ball that has been his calling card, as four of his nine boards were on the offensive end. His minutes may not settle above the low-20s with the Rockets notably deeper this year, but Eason has the well-rounded skill set to be worth a look at the end of fantasy rosters, particularly for his contributions as a rebounder and defender.

NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Eason (leg) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Eason was probable for Wednesday's matchup and will officially be able to make his season debut after missing the start of the year due to a stress fracture in his left leg. He'll likely be limited to around 15 minutes of playing time against the Lakers.

Gets 2024-25 option picked up The Rockets exercised Eason's (lower leg) third-year option for 2024-25 on Monday.

Impact Eason is on the mend from a stress reaction in his left leg and isn't expected to be ready to make his 2023-24 debut until mid-November at the earliest, but he showed enough as a rookie last season for the Rockets to keep him on the books for a third season. While playing in all 82 games in 2022-23, Eason averaged 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.1 assists, 0.7 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 21.6 minutes per contest while shooting 44.8 percent from the field.

Set for multi-week absence Eason will be shut down for 2-3 weeks due to a stress reaction in his left leg, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Eason was diagnosed with a lower left leg bruise Oct. 16, but it now appears to be attributed to a deeper underlying issue. Eason being shut down likely implies that he'll be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks, at which point a determination for his return can be made, so he could be out of game action for over a month. Jae'Sean Tate, Reggie Bullock and Jeff Green will split Eason's vacated minutes.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Friday Eason (lower leg) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Heat, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
