Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: 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.
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.

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Hopeful for season opener
The Rockets are hopeful that Tate (ankle) will be ready for the start of the regular season, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Tate is still ramping up from an ankle injury he suffered during last season's playoffs, and he won't be available for the rest of the preseason. With Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) unlikely to be ready to play in the early part of the campaign, Tari Eason could be needed to play significant minutes off the bench if Tate is limited at all.

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Expected to re-sign with Houston
The Rockets intend to bring back Tate (ankle) on a new contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Tate played in 52 games for Houston during the 2024-25 regular-season campaign. Even though he saw a decrease in playing time this past season, the 29-year-old could see a bump in minutes after the team acquired Kevin Durant and parted ways with Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks. Tate averaged a career-low 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds across 11.3 minutes per game last year over those 52 regular-season games.
