Rockets' Tari Eason: Considered week-to-week

Coach Ime Udoka said Wednesday that the Rockets are going to give Eason (lower leg) "a week or so, two weeks or so" to recover from his injury before returning to action, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Eason has already been ruled out from Wednesday's contest, marking his fifth straight absence. However, it appears that the 22-year-old forward will miss at least another week of action, as Udoka said Eason would remain out through the Rockets' current road trip, which ends next Wednesday in New York. Cam Whitmore, Amen Thompson and Jae'Sean Tate should continue to receive increased minutes in his absence.
