What is the story about?
For the second time in this series, the Rockets will be without Kevin Durant.
After missing Game 1 with a knee contusion, KD will miss Game 3 on Friday with an ankle sprain suffered in Tuesday’s Game 2 win for the Lakers.
Durant had been listed as
questionable heading into the game, but this is certainly a shocking change. As noted, it’s not even the first time this series that he’s been a surprising late scratch during pregame.
This live story will be updated as more information becomes available.
