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

Rockets' Tari Eason: Questionable to face LAL
Rotowire
Eason is questionable to face the Lakers on Sunday due to injury management on his left lower leg.
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.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Scores in double figures off bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Crashes boards in season debut
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Set for multi-week absence
Rotowire
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.
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.

Eason with another impressive Summer League performance, once again making a living at the rim. The LSU product was solid defensively, collecting two blocks and two steals, and did well on the boards. With the way Eason is playing, it would be shocking if he gets much more run in Summer League.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Shines against Portland
Rotowire
Eason notched 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3PT, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 30 minutes of Friday's 100-99 Summer League win over Portland.
Eason was an obvious standout Friday, blowing by defenders for a thunderous jam and producing one of the blocks of the Summer League on Shaedon Sharpe. The forward rotation is very crowded in Houston this season with the arrivals of Amen Thompson and Dillon Brooks, so Eason will need to keep up this momentum to impress new coach Ime Udoka.
