On October 22nd, ESPN reporter Shams Charania reported that multiple sources confirmed that the Rockets and Tari Eason were unable to reach an early contract extension.
Eason said of the matter, "This is business. This isn't personal. I don't think it really changes my goals."
"I'm here trying to win a championship. That's really my main focus," Eason said.
Do you want to play for the Rockets next season? Eason said, "Of course. You know, I was drafted here. This is home. They brought me to the league. From day one, the Rockets have been home for me and my family, so of course."
