Healthy again, but outside rotation
Tate (ankle) played the final 7:14 of Monday's 137-109 win over the Nets, finishing with four points (2-3 FG), one rebound and one steal.
Analyse
Tate sat out the Rockets' season-opening loss to the Thunder last Tuesday while completing his recovery from the ankle injury he sustained in the 2025 postseason, but he was cleared to play ahead of Friday's matchup with the Pistons. He went unused in the Rockets' narrow four-point loss to Detroit, but Monday's blowout win afforded Tate some run in garbage time. Though the 30-year-old is a quality defender who's capable of filling in at multiple positions, he's unlikely to be a regular part of the rotation in 2025-26 while the Rockets are reasonably healthy.

Analyse
Tate is set to make his regular-season debut, although there are no guarantees he'll get into the rotation. Tate is safe to leave on the waiver wire.

Questionable for Friday
Tate (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Detroit.
Analyse
Tate has a chance to make his season debut Friday. With Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) out, Tate could see some minutes off the bench if he's cleared.
