Rockets star Kevin Durant will make his return to the court in Game 2 of the first round playoff series against the Lakers on Tuesday night.

Durant sat out of Game 1 on Saturday because of a right knee contusion he suffered during a practice on April 15 in Houston.

The Lakers won Game 1, 107-98, to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Tuesday was the first time Durant and Lakers star LeBron James played against each other in the playoffs since the 2018 NBA Finals.
