Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't play Thursday

Eason won't play in Thursday's game against Golden State due to left lower leg injury management, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Since returning Jan. 16 from a 13-game absence due to the lower leg injury, Eason hasn't played in both ends of back-to-back sets, so his absence Thursday comes as little surprise. Eason started in Wednesday's 119-111 win over Phoenix and logged 25 points (11-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals across 34 minutes.
