Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant is set to be a game-time decision for Tuesday’s Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers after taking part in only part of the team’s practice Monday.
Durant went through about half of Houston’s session, leaving his status unresolved heading into the next game of the series. The Rockets will determine his availability closer to tipoff.
What it means for Game 2
Durant’s potential absence or limited availability would be a significant storyline for Houston as it prepares for the second matchup with the Lakers. The Rockets are monitoring how he responds after Monday’s work as they finalize their plans for Game 2.
