Kevin Durant will miss Rockets games against the Suns and Warriors due to a family matter, marking his first absences this season, the team confirmed.

  • Rockets announced on Nov. 23 that Houston Rockets all-star Kevin Durant will miss the Nov. 24 game against the Phoenix Suns and Nov. 26 game at Golden State due to personal reasons, with ESPN’s Shams Charania reporting it as a family matter.
  • The delayed visit follows Durant’s 2 1/2 seasons in Phoenix, Arizona, where he averaged 26.8 points over 145 games before missing his Nov. 24 return.
  • The 11-time All-Star is averaging 24.6 points in 14 games, and these next two games will be the first ones he misses this season on the Rockets' injury report Sunday night.
  • Houston begins a four-game road trip Nov. 24 that will conclude with two games against the Utah Jazz on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 without Kevin Durant, the 37-year-old Rockets leading scorer.
  • The Suns traded Durant to Houston before the 2025 draft and received Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and the 10th pick used on Khaman Maluach.
