Tari Eason Remains Out Saturday
11 months agoHouston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) will miss a 10th consecutive game on Saturday against Utah. He was ruled out for one-to-two weeks on Jan. 10 but still isn't game-ready. The team is trying to manage a left lower leg injury with him, and Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said on Friday that he wants Eason to be pain-free when he returns. Eason is one of the top defensive players on the Rockets roster and has averaged close to 22 minutes a night. With him out of the picture, Cam Whitmore has entered the rotation. He's averaging 10.9 points and 3.8 rebounds for the month but has been fairly inconsistent with his performances.
