Rockets' Tari Eason: Listed questionable for Thursday

Eason is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to a right oblique strain.

The injury has prevented Eason from playing since the middle of November, but the forward appears to be on the verge of returning. Eason is likely to carry a minutes restriction if he gains clearance for Thursday, but his eventual presence is still projected to eat into the minutes of Josh Okogie in the frontcourt.
