Injury/Illness - Right Knee; ACL Repair

Tari Eason (illness) is available to play against the Timberwolves on Friday.

Eason will play through this illness for a second straight game. He played 27 minutes off the bench on Thursday and contributed 15 points, eight rebounds, two steals and three triples. Eason should play a similar role in this game.

Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Josh Okogie, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün will start Thursday’s game against the 76ers.

Clint Capela may pick up a few more minutes off the bench, but not starting elimina...

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Steven Adams has undergone season-ending surgery on his left ankle.

Adams’ absence is a big blow to Houston’s rotation, as the big man has contributed strong defense and rebounding in 2025-26. Tari Eason should see a bump in playing time, while Clint Capela could pick up some extra minutes off the bench. The Rockets will likely roll with smaller lineups, and Alperen...

Aaron Holiday (back) is available for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

After a five-game absence, Holiday is available for Tuesday’s game. However, while he may see some action, the reserve point guard is unlikely to get the time needed to affect fantasy basketball. Leave Holiday on the waiver wire.
