Rockets star Kevin Durant went through around half of Houston’s practice on Monday and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday, according to coach Ime Udoka.
Durant missed the Rockets’ loss in Game 1 of their first round series against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a knee injury he suffered in practice on Wednesday.
Udoka called the injury “hopefully … a one-game thing” ahead of Game 1 on Saturday, adding that imaging showed no structural damage in Durant’s knee.
Durant, 37, averaged a team-high 26 points per game during the regular season and the Rockets clearly missed his shot-making in the 107-98 loss to L.A. Houston shot less than 40% from the field in the game and lost despite attempting 27 more shots than the Lakers.
Game 2 is 10:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
