Jae'Sean Tate To Miss 4-6 Weeks With Grade 2 MCL Sprain

Houston Rockets wing Jae'Sean Tate is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks due to a Grade 2 MCL Sprain in his right knee. Tate was injured in the first half of the Rockets loss to the New York Knicks on Saturday night.

Houston will be shorted handed with wings and forwards, as head coach Ime Udoka announced that Dorian Finney-Smith will continue to play only one end of back-to-back games. That will leave the Rockets without two rotation players for at least five games, as that is the number of back-to-back sets the team has remaining this season.

Tate has come in and out of the rotation this season. Udoka put Tate back into the rotation just before the All-Star break and was counting on him as an additional wing with some 3&D ability.
