Tari Eason
Rockets
Injury
Tari Eason will sit out his third consecutive game due to an ankle injury sustained against the Trail Blazers on January 9. In his absence, Josh Okogie has been filling in and is expected to start again on Thursday when the Rockets face the Thunder, aiming for consecutive wins. The team will look to Okogie to maintain defensive intensity and provide support on both ends of the court.
