Jae'Sean Tate

Jae'Sean Tate has been suspended by the NBA for one game and he will be out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

The league has suspended Tate for one game because of his involvement in an altercation in Friday's game. The suspension will presumably take effect for Sunday's game, but he should be back after that. Tari Eason and Kenyon Martin Jr. both project to get additional work while he's out for a game.

Jae'Sean Tate is expected to return on Thursday against the Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Tate will return after playing in just three of the Rockets first 38 games this season. He will likely be eased back into action early on after missing so much time.

Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) will remain sidelined for Monday's contest against the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Tate is still dealing with soreness in his right ankle that has forced him to miss a large chunk of the season so far. It's unclear when exactly he will be back, but there's no reason to think anything is imminent. Tari Eason should continue to get additional reps in his extended absence.

Jae'Sean Tate recorded nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3P), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and two turnovers across 30 minutes in Sunday's 124-109 loss to the Suns.

Fantasy Impact

In Tate's third game played this season, the small forward made minor contributions in the loss. It's great to see him in the starting lineup but it's unclear if the Ohio State product will be a difference maker in a specific facet in fantasy this season. The Rockets play the Clippers in Los Angeles on Monday.

Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate will be out for a third straight game Saturday night against the Bucks as he continues to nurse an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

Tate's continued absence will give rookie Tari Eason increased opportunities, although Eason has thus far been ineffective in fantasy even with the uptick in minutes. Additionally, he'll be facing off against Giannis tonight, so scoring opportunities will be few and far between.
