The Houston Rockets will not quite be at full strength when their 2022-23 regular season begins on Wednesday night in Atlanta. Jae’Sean Tate, a key defensive player who missed much of the preseason while dealing with ankle issues, is again sidelined with left ankle soreness.
Rookie guard TyTy Washington (left knee sprain) is also listed as out on the Rockets’ official injury report. The team has not disclosed an expected return timetable for either player.
