The Houston Rockets are in the brink of elimination down 3-0 to the Los Angeles Lakers in their first-round playoff series. If Houston is going to hold off the end of their season, they're likely to have to do it without star forward Kevin Durant. Durant is expected to be miss Game 4 due to a bone bruise in his sprained left ankle. The veteran forward has undergone around-the-clock treatment for his ankle, but hasn't seen enough improvement to try to play.
Houston has been without Durant for Games 1 and 3 of the series due to a knee injury for Game 1 and then the ankle injury, which Durant suffered during Game 2, kept Durant out for Game 3.
