Eason has not played since November 14, when he suffered a strained right oblique against the Portland Trail Blazers, but is hopeful to return before the new year. While he remains sidelined, Josh Okogie will continue to see additional minutes.

Tari Eason (hip) is expected to miss four to six weeks, per coach Ime Udoka. The strain was officially diagnosed as an oblique injury after initially being labeled a contusion.

With Eason sidelined into mid-December, Houston could turn to Josh Okogie for a larger role, with Jeff Green and Jae’Sean Tate also candidates to see more involvement.
