Rockets' Tari Eason: Set for multi-week absence

Eason will be shut down for 2-3 weeks due to a stress reaction in his left leg, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Eason was diagnosed with a lower left leg bruise Oct. 16, but it now appears to be attributed to a deeper underlying issue. Eason being shut down likely implies that he'll be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks, at which point a determination for his return can be made, so he could be out of game action for over a month. Jae'Sean Tate, Reggie Bullock and Jeff Green will split Eason's vacated minutes.
