Tate (knee) will remain on the inactive list for Monday's game versus the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Tate is recovering from a Grade 2 MCL sprain, and the Rockets continue to rule him out a day in advance of tipoff, suggesting he's still not close. Until Houston provides a meaningful update on where Tate is in his rehab, he should be viewed as week-to-week.

Tate has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tate picked up the knee injury during Saturday's matchup against the Knicks, and he's now looking at a multi-week absence. Coach Ime Udoka noted that the typical timeline for a return from this type of injury is 4-to-6 weeks, but the team will re-assess in two weeks. Josh Okogie and Dorian Finney-Smith will presumably be asked to pick up the slack while Tate is sidelined.
