Mics Caught Kevin Durant's Vulgar Response To Lakers Fan

The Los Angeles Lakers took down the Houston Rockets in Game 1 of the Western Conference first round playoff series over the weekend.

The Lakers topped the Rockets, 107-98, in Game 1 of the first round series. Game 2 of the first round series is set for Tuesday night. Kevin Durant, the star Houston forward, was unable to play in Game 1 due to an injury.

But Durant still made headlines.

Mics caught an interaction between Durant and a heckling Los Angeles Lakers fan. Durant had something vulgar to say to the taunting fan.

After his team's Game 1 loss, Durant walked over to greet rapper Travis Scott, who was sitting along the baseline near Houston's bench. Scott was cheering for the Rockets.

A Lakers fan could be heard taunting Durant during his interaction with Scott. However, Durant had a clapback.

"Get that grown man (expletive) out of your mouth," Durant was heard saying as he was seen pointing at the fan before walking away to leave the court.

Footage of the clip quickly went viral on social media.

Durant is reportedly frustrated by his injury

Durant knew he was unable to play through his injury in Game 1, per The Athletic.

"When Durant took the floor to test his ailing knee approximately two hours before tipoff, you didn't have to access the medical records to know that he was hurting. It was written all over his face," Sam Amick reported.

"According to several people who watched his routine, his frustration with the brutally-timed situation was impossible to miss. Durant, who played in 78 games during the regular season and has long had a reputation for being willing to play through a fair amount of pain, was clearly coming to grips with the fact that he'd have to sit this playoff opener out. After banging knees with a teammate during practice on Wednesday, then surely hoping the injury wouldn't linger too long, observers said he was not moving well during the session. He was ruled out soon thereafter."

Game 2 is set for Tuesday night.
