Injury/Illness - Right Knee; ACL Repair

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Kevin Durant (ankle) will not be available for Friday’s Game 6 against the Lakers.<br>

Having suffered a tendon bruise in his knee before the series, Durant has been out since Game 2 due to a bone bruise in his left ankle. His continued absence means another start for Reed Sheppard, while the Rockets will also require more production from Alperen Şengün, Jabari Smith Jr. and Amen Thom...

Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Josh Okogie, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün will start Thursday’s game against the 76ers.

Davison’s deal will be converted from a two-way to a standard contract, and he’ll fill out Houston’s final roster spot ahead of the 2025-26 playoffs.

However, instead of replacing him with a center, the Rockets are going small, with Finney-Smith moving into the starting lineup. Clint Capela may pick up a few more minutes off the bench, but not starting elimina...

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Steven Adams has undergone season-ending surgery on his left ankle.

Adams’ absence is a big blow to Houston’s rotation, as the big man has contributed strong defense and rebounding in 2025-26. Tari Eason should see a bump in playing time, while Clint Capela could pick up some extra minutes off the bench. The Rockets will likely roll with smaller lineups, and Alperen...

Aaron Holiday (back) is available for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

After a five-game absence, Holiday is available for Tuesday’s game. However, while he may see some action, the reserve point guard is unlikely to get the time needed to affect fantasy basketball. Leave Holiday on the waiver wire.
