Tari Eason Remains Out On Friday
2 days agoHouston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against Boston. His absence will extend to an eighth consecutive game. Eason was listed as doubtful on the initial injury report, suggesting it might take a bit more time until he's ready to play. With Eason out, Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate have entered the rotation. Both players also benefit from the absences of Jabari Smith Jr. (hand) and Amen Thompson (suspension). However, they will remain in the second unit on Friday, with Rockets head coach Ime Udoka deciding to insert Jeff Green into the starting five as Smith Jr.'s replacement.
