Kevin Durant Ruled Out for Game 6 with Ankle Bone Bruise

Kevin Durant has been officially ruled out for Game 6 against the Lakers due to an ankle bone bruise that requires weeks of recovery. Durant has appeared in only one postseason game this year. While the Rockets have managed to stay alive in the series without him, securing back-to-back wins in Games 4 and 5, he remains listed as doubtful for the upcoming elimination contest. The team is 2-2 in games played without Durant during this stretch.
