The Houston Rockets are re-signing forward Tari Eason to a five-year contract worth about $81.5 million, according to reports including ESPN’s Shams Charania and coverage from The Athletic. The deal keeps Eason with the team after he was listed as a restricted free agent. Multiple outlets report that the agreement is reached and that Eason will remain on Houston’s roster under the new contract terms.
Eason, a 25-year-old player, has been known for his defensive impact and high-energy style. The Athletic describes him as a versatile forward, while other reports note his role with the Rockets during his previous seasons. One report adds that Eason has played four seasons with Houston.
Overall, the accounts agree on the same core details: the Rockets’ agreement with Eason, the length of the contract (five years), the total value (about $81.5 million, reported as $81 million in one summary), and the context that he is a restricted free agent prior to re-signing.
