Tari Eason Doubtful Wednesday
9 months agoHouston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) did not participate in Wednesday's shootaround, leaving him unlikely to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. Eason played in Houston's initial two exhibitions before being inactive for Monday's contest with the Spurs due to a left lower-leg contusion. It sounds like a relatively minor problem for the 22-year-old former first-rounder, who will have one last chance to make a preseason appearance on Friday versus the Miami Heat. The offseason additions of Dillon Brooks and first-round rookies Amen Thompson plus Cam Whitmore cloud Eason's path to frontcourt playing time a bit in 2023-24. Eason should still maintain a consistent role of head coach Ime Udoka's bench for his tenacious rebounding and defense, but he'll need to round out his offensive game a bit.
