Coach Udoka talks Tari Eason injury after Rockets win and its not good news
Yes um tar is going to have surgery on Monday um he had a you know obviously been going through some things during the year and had a benign growth on the bone inside the you know Tibby I think and um you know took that blow
Early in the season and flared up he played through it with some pain but um you know never was it at never had a chance of fracturing or anything but it was just a pain tolerance thing and so once the pain got you know too high we
Shut it down and thought rest and um rehab could um you know he could get over it that way but every time we ramped up the workouts it you know the pain came right back and so after seeing all the um Specialists and and decision makers uh came to the decision that’s
Best to have surgery Monday and you know four month uh period and be ready for the start of the season so he’ll have a little bone graph to Rod put in there and um you know be ready to go in four months what was the actual injury game
Bine growth you know on on the uh lower leg bone it’s pre-existing something he’s had for a while but he got hit with a knee um a few times early in the season that’s what made it flare up and so from there like I said the
Pain as he continued to play became more and more until you know we had to shut it down and we thought all the doctors himself everybody wants to avoid surgery obviously and so we thought um rest could he could get back with rest and uh
Like I said it came back and so surgery is the best option now said out for four months four month timetable yes
