Tari Eason Doubtful for Rockets’ Game Against Wizards on January 7th with Lower Leg Injury
Tari Eason of the Houston Rockets is dealing with a left lower-leg injury. This injury has put his status as doubtful for the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards on January 7th. Eason has been managing this injury since late December, and it has kept him off the court in recent games.
What It Means
This news affects both Tari Eason and the Houston Rockets. Eason is a key player for the team, averaging 11.2 points per game this season. His absence could be felt in scoring and rebounding, where he ranks second among small forwards on the team.
The Rockets will likely rely more on Dillon Brooks and Cam Whitmore to fill the gap left by Eason. Brooks averages 13.7 points per game, while Whitmore contributes an average of 9.1 points per game. The team’s depth at small forward will be tested as they face off against the Wizards.
