Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant (7) looks for a teammate around Los Angeles Lakers forward Jake LaRavia (12) during the second game of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.
Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant is questionable with a left ankle sprain for Friday’s game against the Lakers, according to Thursday’s injury reports.
The Rockets are looking for a bounce-back back in Houston after losing the first two games of the series on the road. Durant, who was durable during the regular season, missed Game 1 with a right knee contusion but returned to play 41 minutes in Tuesday’s Game 2.
The 37-year-old said after the game that he felt good but was displeased with his play. He scored 23 points but tied his playoff career high with nine turnovers in the Rockets loss.
