Worrying performance Friday
Eason supplied four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 115-111 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Eason struggled again Friday, continuing his slow start to the season. While his playing time was more than enough, his production was well below what is typically expected. Frustrations are likely to set in for those who took a chance on him in drafts, and rightfully so. However, he is worth holding onto in most spots, at least for another week or so, in the hope that he figures things out.

Struggles in opening loss
Eason finished with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime loss to the Thunder.
Analysis
Eason was a non-factor in the loss, failing to build any rhythm on the defensive end, while making a number of questionable decisions on offense. While he is slated to play a meaningful role for the Rockets, the fact that a new contract was not signed could indicate some tension. Look for him to turn things around when Houston hosts Detroit on Friday.

Off injury report for Tuesday
Eason (rest) is off the Rockets' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis
Eason sat out Thursday's preseason finale, though he's set to return for the Rockets' regular-season opener. The 24-year-old forward is expected to provide a spark off the bench in the 2025-26 campaign. Over 57 regular-season appearances (16 starts) last season, he averaged 12.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.5 assists and 0.9 blocks across 24.9 minutes per game.
