Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant

Rockets Injury

Kevin Durant’s involvement in about half of Monday’s practice raises concerns about his availability for Tuesday’s Game 2 against the Lakers. Still nursing a right knee contusion, Durant’s status is a game-time decision, as confirmed by Rockets head coach Ime Udoka. With Durant absent in Game 1, the Rockets suffered offensively, particularly with Reed Sheppard’s shooting woes. To avoid a 0-2 series deficit, the team will rely heavily on contributions from Sheppard and Alperen Şengün if Durant is sidelined again.
