Rockets' Tari Eason: Out Tuesday, could play Thursday

Eason (leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Eason will remain out Tuesday, but head coach Ime Udoka told Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston that he's hopeful that the forward will return to action Thursday in Memphis. With Eason sidelined for a 10th consecutive contest Tuesday, the Rockets should have room in the rotation for both Jae'Sean Tate and Cam Whitmore.
