Tari Eason Out Friday, May Return Next Week
5 months agoHouston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is still listed as out for Friday's matchup versus the Toronto Raptors. As Houston continues to manage the left lower leg of Eason, the 2022 first-rounder has reportedly begun playing 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 in practice. Head coach Ime Udoka also said on Thursday, per Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston, that Eason could return to game action next week following over a month of missed action, so that likely means the forward is on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. First-round rookie Cam Whitmore is coming into his own a bit over his last 10 games, averaging 15.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.3 triples on 39.7% shooting from beyond the arc since Jan. 13 and is worth streaming in deeper fantasy leagues for the time being.
