Houston Rockets brace for crucial matchups as Kevin Durant’s sudden absence raises mysterious questions

The Houston Rockets are moving forward with a strong resolve to bounce back after falling behind 109-112 in their third NBA Cup group stage game against the Denver Nuggets. The team's star player, Kevin Durant, may not be available for tonight's road trip against the Phoenix Suns.



Due to a family issue, Durant will miss two consecutive games, on Monday night against Phoenix and Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors, the organization stated. Strangely, Durant's old teams are the opponents in each of those games. When the Rockets play the Jazz on Sunday afternoon in Utah, Durant ought to be back in action.



Even though he has only been with the Rockets for a few months, Durant has relished taking on the position of seasoned team leader.










Durant stated the following in a Yahoo interview.



“I’ve been on teams where you have young guys trying to establish themselves… Which isn’t a bad thing, but sometimes that can get in the way on a team. [Here] you have young great players still figuring things out, so their approach to the game might change, and my approach to them might change. But these guys are humble, appreciative of being here and grateful to come in every day. It’s always fun coming into the locker room.”



Without their best player, who has been a vital member of the club this season, the Rockets will have to handle these games. After 14 games, Durant has averaged 24.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting 36.4% from three-point range and 48.5% from the field.



Houston, who have a 10-4 record and are presently fifth in the Western Conference, will want to keep up their momentum when they play his old teammates without Durant.
