Rockets Lakers Basketball

Houston’s Kevin Durant is out for Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers with a left ankle sprain. Durant didn’t participate in practice with the Rockets on Tuesday before they left for California, trailing 3-1 in the first-round series. But he was seen running on an antigravity treadmill as the team wrapped up its work before heading to the airport. Coach Ime Udoka was asked if there was a possibility that Durant would play in Wednesday's Game 5 after missing the last two games with a sprained left ankle and bone bruise.
