Tari Eason Questionable for Rockets’ Game Against Pelicans on December 19th with Lower Leg Injury
Tari Eason is dealing with a lower left leg injury. He is uncertain to play for the Houston Rockets in their upcoming game against the New Orleans Pelicans on December 19th. This comes after previously being under concussion protocol earlier this month.
What It Means
Eason’s status as questionable means the Rockets may need to adjust their lineup. Tari has been averaging 11.2 points per game and pulling down 6.3 rebounds, making him a key player for the team. His shooting percentage is at 47.5%, which shows his efficiency on the court.
If Eason cannot play, Dillon Brooks will likely see more minutes as he leads the small forward position in playing time with an average of 31.3 minutes per game. Nate Williams might also get some time on the floor, though he averages only 3.3 minutes per game.
