Out for personal reasons
Tate (personal reasons) won't play in Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis
Tate has been unable to crack Houston's rotation and was recently sent down for a stint in the G League. The veteran closed with 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 G League loss to the Austin Spurs.

Assigned to G League
The Rockets assigned Tate to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Saturday, Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports reports.
Analysis
Tate has seen sparse playing time to open the 2025-26 regular season, and Iko relays that it was a mutual decision between Tate and the Rockets to send the sixth-year pro to the G League to get more playing time. Tate has averaged just 5.1 minutes across eight games for the Rockets this season.
