Is Kevin Durant Playing For Rockets Vs Lakers Tonight? Injury Update For Nba Playoffs
The Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets square off in an intriguing first-round Western Conference playoff series.
The best-of-seven series could come down to who isn't going to be on the floor, instead of who is actually playing.
The Lakers are expected to be without Luka Doncic, who suffered a hamstring injury late in the season, and Austin Reaves (oblique) at least for Game 1, set to tip off April 18 in Los Angeles.
The Rockets have their own injury concerns, as forward Kevin Durant showed up on the injury report this week, with a knee injury.
Durant, who played the second-most minutes in the NBA regular season, and is only 15 points short of 5,000 for his playoff career, sustained the injury in practice.
Kevin Durant injury status
The Rockets say that the 37-year-old Durant is officially questionable after sustaining a right knee contusion this week in practice.
Houston reportedly isn't concerned about the injury, and Durant (26 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game), who played in 78 games this season.
