"Durant, who missed Game 1 with a knee contusion, suffered the latest injury in the fourth quarter of Game 2. He turned his ankle on a transition play, but stayed in the game before he experienced swelling in the two days since."
"Reaves participated in stay-ready games - on-court sessions with coaches and staff members - while receiving treatment for his injury."
Austin Reaves will not make his playoff debut in Game 3 against the Rockets after being ruled out despite warming up. The Rockets will also be without Kevin Durant, who suffered a left ankle sprain. Durant's injury occurred during Game 2, where he initially continued playing but experienced swelling afterward. Reaves, who had a left oblique strain, was upgraded to questionable after a surprising recovery timeline. He participated in on-court sessions while receiving treatment but did not return in time for the game.
