Tari Eason May Not Play Back-to-Backs Early in the Season
Tari Eason (leg) may not play in back-to-backs early in the season, according to head coach Ime Udoka. Eason dealt with a leg issue last season that kept him out of 13 games during December and January. His left leg underwent surgery in early 2024 for a stress reaction, so between that and his issues last season, the Rockets will want to approach him with caution. The plan for back-to-backs won't be much new for the 24-year-old, as Houston used this same plan last season after his leg injury. When active, Eason can be an effective player as he averaged 12.0 points and 6.4 rebounds last year, mostly off the bench. He has publicly stated he's motivated for a more elevated role this season. Fantasy managers looking for a deep sleeper pick may want to target the 24-year-old in the late rounds of their draft.
