Tari Eason Doubtful for Rockets’ Game Against Celtics on January 3rd with Lower Leg Injury
Tari Eason of the Houston Rockets is dealing with a left lower leg injury. He is doubtful to play in the upcoming game against the Boston Celtics on January 3rd. This injury has kept him off the court in recent games, and his status remains uncertain.
What It Means
Eason’s absence could impact the Rockets as he averages 11.2 points per game. His performance includes being among the top five at his position in rebounds in nearly half of his games this season. Without him, the team might need to rely more on other players like Dillon Brooks and Cam Whitmore.
Dillon Brooks, who ranks first in minutes played among small forwards on the team, may see increased time on the floor. Cam Whitmore could also get more opportunities to contribute. The Rockets will need to adjust their strategy while Eason recovers from his injury.
