休斯敦火箭队前锋凯文·杜兰特因左脚踝扭伤，将缺席周五与洛杉矶湖人队季后赛首轮的第三场比赛。杜兰特是在第二场比赛的第四节受伤的，他在该场比赛中得到23分，但在严密的包夹防守下出现了9次失误。火箭队目前在洛杉矶客场连输两场，总比分0-2落后。
杜兰特此前因上周训练中受到的膝伤缺席了第一场比赛，但在第二场复出。火箭队主教练艾米·乌多卡确认，脚踝扭伤发生在第二场比赛的尾声，伤处出现的肿胀导致杜兰特确定无法参加第三场。由于第四场比赛定于周日进行，随着休斯敦队以0-2的总比分濒临被淘汰，杜兰特的恢复时间非常紧迫。湖人队同样面临伤病困扰，后卫奥斯汀·里夫斯将缺席第三场比赛，但由于常规赛末期造成的腹斜肌拉伤，他能否参加第四场比赛仍需临场评估。卢卡·东契奇目前正在恢复中，这可能会进一步助长洛杉矶队的势头。在没有杜兰特的情况下，火箭队将启用季后赛历史上最年轻的首发阵容之一：阿门·汤普森、塔里·伊森、里德·谢泼德、贾巴里·史密斯和阿尔佩伦·申京。尽管史蒂文·亚当斯和弗雷德·范弗利特等老将能提供支援，但休斯敦队的赛季命运将取决于这支年轻的核心阵容能否在这场关键对决中挺身而出。
