Houston Rockets guard/forward Tari Eason (lower leg) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's matchup against Charlotte as the team manages him on the second night of a back-to-back.

Daniel Gafford Set to Play vs. San Antonio

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Thursday's game against San Antonio after managing a sprained right ankle.

Brandon Williams Exits Early With Lower-Leg Injury

Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (lower leg) exited Saturday's game against Houston after suffering a contusion and did not return.
