Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Shut down for rest of season

Head coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that Tate (ankle) is unlikely to play again this season, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Tate has already been ruled out for the third straight game Tuesday against the Magic due to a right ankle sprain and is now being shut down for the rest of the season, with Houston eliminated from playoff contention. The 28-year-old forward will likely end the 2023-24 campaign averaging 4.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.9 minutes across 65 appearances.
