Facing the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, the Rockets have officially ruled out<\/a> Durant due to his left ankle sprain, via Shams Charania of ESPN.<\/p>\n

Durant has been listed as questionable ahead of Game 3 after sustaining his new injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After missing Game 1 with a right knee bone bruise, Durant suited up and dropped 23 points, six rebounds and four assists in Houston’s 101-94 Game 2 loss.<\/p>\n

With Durant missing a game again, the Rockets are facing more pressure ahead of the must-win Game 3 at home.<\/p>\n

They trail 2-0 after losing the first two games of the series in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
