Will Kevin Durant play today? Injury update before Rockets vs. Lakers Game 2
The Houston Rockets are awaiting a game-time decision on Kevin Durant's availability for Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right knee contusion. Durant missed Game 1 with the same injury and the Rockets lost despite the Lakers missing two key players.
The Houston Rockets face a crucial game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, April 21, with Kevin Durant's participation uncertain due to a right knee contusion. Durant missed Game 1, which the Rockets lost, and his status was listed as questionable on Monday night. Coach Ime Udoka believes Durant will be a game-time decision, having observed him practicing and moving fairly well. The issue is not pain but mobility, with Udoka emphasizing the need for Durant to feel comfortable with all movements. The Rockets need Durant's presence to boost their urgency and efficiency. Game 2 is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
