I'm Cory with the story.

Houston Rocketstar Kevin Durant is pushing through a sprained left-angle in Bonebrews,

but it looks like he won't suit up for Game 5 against.

The Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night.

The Rocket's Trail 3-1 in this first round series, and Durant skipped Tuesday's practice

before the team flew to California.

Instead, he got in some running on an anti-gravity treadmill as they wrapped up.

Coach Eme Udoca kept it real, calling it day-to-day and game-to-game.

Noting Durant needs court work to ramp up, but he's handling conditioning for.

Now, fans and the team feel the weight.

Durant has missed three games total here, including the opener with a knee issue, then dropping 23 points.

In Game 2, before tweaking the ankle late, still, Houston pulled off a 1-15-96 win in Game 4

without their superstar to stay alive.

This comes after Durant logged heavy minutes in the regular season, ranking secondly-guide

at 2840, despite turning 37.

It's his first year in Houston Post-Trade from Phoenix, where he's already fifth all-time

in NBA scoring.

The Rocket's fight on, but without KD, it's an uphill battle-keep, an eye on how they

adjust for that must-win in LA.
