Kevin Durant Questionable for Game 2 as Rockets Make Game-Time Call

A deep bruise in his right patellar tendon has limited his range of motion.

Overview

  • The Rockets list Durant as questionable and plan a game-time decision based on how his knee moves.
  • Coach Ime Udoka says mobility matters most because he must handle full basketball movements to play.
  • ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the injury came from a practice collision that led to swelling and reduced range of motion.
  • Practice video shows Durant shooting and moving better with tape on his right knee, which offers cautious optimism.
  • Houston lost Game 1 without him, shooting 37.6% and missing eight of 25 free throws in a 107-98 defeat, underscoring his impact on shot creation.
