Rockets' Tari Eason: To miss at least four weeks

Head coach Ime Udoka said Saturday that Eason (hip) is expected to miss four to six weeks, Rockets reporter Vaneesa Richardson reports.

This is a tough blow for Houston, as they will be without one of their top forwards through at least the middle of December. The official diagnosis was a strained oblique after it was initially described as a contusion. With Eason sidelined, Josh Okogie could see increased playing time. Guys like Jeff Green and Jae'Sean Tate could potentially become more involved as well.
