• Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Struggles continue Thursday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Dort contributed zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Thursday's 122-101 win over the Clippers. One game after managing only three points on 1-for-7 shooting, Dort was completely blanked by a Clippers defense that let the rest of the Thunder lineup shoot 50.5 percent from the floor. The 26-year-old forward may still be feeling the effects of an adductor strain that cost him the first three games in December, but he's had a rough start to the season overall on the injury front. Dort's been able to suit up for only 18 of OKC's first 27 games, averaging just 7.5 points, 3.7 boards, 1.6 threes, 1.2 assists and 1.2 combined steals and blocks in 27.7 minutes while shooting what would be a career-low 35.9 percent.

  Dort had 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 victory over the Suns. Dort returned from a three-game absence due to an adductor injury and didn't miss a beat, hitting three three-pointers and scoring 12 points. While he did not record any defensive stats, just the fourth instance of the season for him, Dort's defensive presence was certainly felt as he contributed to a suffocating Thunder effort that held Phoenix to just 89 points.

• Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Absent from injury report

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Dort (adductor) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns. A right adductor strain cost Dort three straight games, but his omission from the injury report puts him in a position to return Wednesday. The expectation is that the 26-year-old will rejoin the starting lineup, which would likely send Jaylin Williams to the second unit. For the campaign, Dort has averaged 8.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.1 minutes per game over 15 regular-season outings.
