Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant will miss Game 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right knee injury sustained from a knee bump with a teammate during practice, according to coach Ime Udoka, who hopes it will only be a one-game absence. The Lakers are also without All-Stars Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, significantly impacting their lineup. Los Angeles aims to extend the series in hopes of having either player return before the first round concludes.
