Kevin Durant out Game 1 vs Lakers with right knee injury

The Houston Rockets will be without superstar Kevin Durant for Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Durant suffered a right knee injury at practice this week and has been ruled out. This is a significant blow for Houston as they face defending champion LeBron James and the Lakers. Durant has been a crucial part of the Rockets offense all season. Without their star player, the Rockets will rely on their supporting cast to keep the series competitive. Game 1 is scheduled for tonight at 8:30 PM ET.
