Kevin Durant’s status remains uncertain for Tuesday’s Game 2 against the Lakers, as he participated in only half of Monday’s practice due to a right knee contusion. Head coach Ime Udoka has labeled Durant a game-time decision, highlighting the team’s need for stepped-up performances from Reed Sheppard and Alperen Şengün if Durant cannot play. The Rockets are looking to bounce back from a Game 1 loss, where Sheppard had a tough shooting night.
