Tari Eason Doubtful for Rockets Due to Lower Leg Injury
Tari Eason of the Houston Rockets is dealing with a left lower leg injury. He is listed as doubtful for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Lakers on January 5th, 2025. Eason has been managing this injury since late December, and his status remains uncertain.
What It Means
Eason’s absence could impact the Rockets’ rotation. He averages 11.2 points per game and contributes significantly with 6.3 rebounds per game. These stats place him second in the team’s small forward depth chart.
With Eason doubtful, Dillon Brooks might see more playing time. Brooks currently leads the position with an average of 32.1 minutes per game and scores 14 points per game. Cam Whitmore may also get more opportunities if Eason cannot play.
