INDIANAPOLIS -- All-Star forward Kevin Durant missed the Houston Rockets' 118-114 win over the Pacers on Monday night due to a sprained left ankle.
Durant suffered the injury when he stepped on a fan's foot during a recent game. Coach Ime Udoka said Durant had "tweaked" the ankle and did not provide a timetable for a return.
Durant was picked as an All-Star reserve Sunday, his 16th All-Star selection. He played nearly 38½ minutes in Saturday's 111-107 victory over Dallas. Reed Sheppard was expected to replace Durant in the lineup.
Durant has not previously sat out a game this season because of injuries. He sat out two games in November for personal reasons. The 37-year-old Durant is averaging a team-best 26.2 points.
