| Good to go for camp The Scoop:Tate missed the final six games of the 2023-24 campaign with a right ankle sprain. He's been scrimmaging with contact since last week, however, so it's unlikely that he will have limitations during camp. Tate finished the regular season with averages of 4.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.9 minutes across 65 appearances. Sep 25 11:32 ET - | ||||||||

| Option picked up by club The Rockets exercised Tate's (ankle) $7.57 million team option for 2024-25 on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The Scoop: Houston's decision to retain Tate is somewhat surprising given that he looked to be a fringe rotation player toward the end of the 2023-24 season before he was shut down in April with a right ankle sprain. However, the 28-year-old brings value in his ability to defend multiple positions and is comfortable taking on a lower-usage role, which makes him an ideal fit next to higher-priority offensive options such as Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun. He should be fully recovered from the ankle sprain well in advance of training camp -- if he's not healthy already -- and depending on what the complexion of the Houston roster looks like in the aftermath of the offseason, Tate could resurface as a more consistent part of head coach Ime Udoka's rotation.

| Shut down for rest of season Head coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that Tate (ankle) is unlikely to play again this season, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports. The Scoop: Tate has already been ruled out for the third straight game Tuesday against the Magic due to a right ankle sprain and is now being shut down for the rest of the season, with Houston eliminated from playoff contention. The 28-year-old forward will likely end the 2023-24 campaign averaging 4.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.9 minutes across 65 appearances. Apr 9 11:03 ET |
| Remains out Tate (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic. The Scoop: Tate will miss a third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Utah. Apr 8 9:50 ET |
| Not playing Sunday Tate (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks. The Scoop: Tate has struggled to see consistent minutes off the bench in recent games, and the ankle injury will keep him sidelined for Sunday's contest. His next chance to play will come against Orlando on Tuesday, but Tate won't carry a lot of fantasy upside outside of very deep formats when available. Apr 6 9:35 ET |
