Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right knee contusion. The injury occurred during practice this week, but the Rockets remain optimistic that it won't significantly impact Durant's performance in the series. Meanwhile, the Lakers are facing challenges of their own, as they will be without key players Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique), both injured during a recent loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Lakers coach JJ Redick confirmed that Doncic and Reaves are out indefinitely, with no updates expected this week. Durant, 37, has had a strong season, averaging 26.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists while playing in 78 games, his highest total since the 2018-19 season.
