Tari Eason Remains Out Against Bulls
6 months agoHouston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) will not be available for Wednesday's clash with the Chicago Bulls as the team continues to manage his left lower leg. This is starting to become a bit of a concern, as it's unclear if Eason has suffered a setback or if this treatment is part of Houston's plan of load management after he sustained a stress reaction during the preseason. Though Eason's sporadic absences are certainly frustrating, the 2022 first-rounder was starting to pick up steam before returning to the shelf with averages of 13.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.6 steals, and 1.0 treys in 26.2 minutes over his last 10 games. Since Dillon Brooks (oblique) remains on the sidelines with Eason, Cam Whitmore, Jeff Green, and Jae'Sean Tate will all be candidates for extended run on Wednesday.
