If the Houston Rockets are going to battle back and force a Game 7 in their series with the Los Angeles Lakers, they’ll have to do it without Kevin Durant. The 37-year-old Durant will not play in Game 6 on Friday due to an ankle injury, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Doing so without Durant will make that task even harder.
