You're listening to Sports Desk, let's get into it.

Kevin Durant is not suiting up for Game four. The Houston Rockets star is dealing with a bone bruise in his sprained left ankle, and sources tell ESPN he'll be sidelined as Houston faces the Los Angeles Lakers in what's shaping up to be a pivotal moment in this Western Conference quarterfinal series.

Meanwhile, the Spurs are getting their guy back. Victor Wembanyama has cleared concussion protocol and will take the floor Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers in Game four. San Antonio needed this news badly, and Wembanyama's return gives the Spurs a fighting chance to reshape this series entirely.

And in London, history was made on the pavement. Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe became the first athlete to break the two-hour barrier in a competitive marathon setting, a moment that rewrites what we thought the human body was capable of. The running world will not be the same after what happened on those streets.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
