Dieng will come off the bench for Friday's game in New Orleans.
With Ryan Rollins back in action, Dieng will shift to the second unit, and it'll be interesting to see what his minutes look like in the reserve role. If Dieng isn't able to earn 20-plus minutes as a member of the second unit, it'll be difficult for him to offer fantasy-worthy production.

Rotowire
Dieng is starting Thursday's game against Oklahoma City.

Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Stays hot vs. OKC
Rotowire
Dieng totaled 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one steal and four blocks in 36 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 victory over the Thunder.
Dieng stepped into the starting lineup for the first time this season while the Bucks were forced to navigate without Ryan Rollins (foot) and Myles Turner (calf). Dieng came through in a big way, as he led Milwaukee in scoring and posted his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. The 22-year-old got off to a slow start with his new club, finishing with two points, one rebound and one steal across five minutes in his Bucks debut, but he's played well in two games since.

Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Fares well off bench
Rotowire
Dieng recorded 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and three rebounds across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over the Magic.
Making his second appearance with the Bucks, Dieng made a strong impression on the coaching staff. Player development could be a focus for the Bucks after the All-Star break barring a sudden turnaround, making Dieng a player to monitor in deeper formats.

Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Flipped to Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Bulls have traded Dieng to Milwaukee, with Nick Richards going to Chicago, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Dieng was traded to Chicago on Wednesday, and now he's been flipped again. Milwaukee is not a bad landing spot for Dieng, as the team could pivot toward a youth movement down the stretch due to Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) being on the sidelines. Dieng should be considered questionable to debut Friday against the Pacers.

Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Available after all
Rotowire
Dieng (recently traded) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers.
The Bucks were sending mixed signals regarding Dieng's availability, but it seems he'll be in uniform Friday after all. It's not a lock he'll enter the game in a significant capacity, though.

Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Dieng (recently traded) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Pacers.
After being acquired from the Bulls on Thursday, Dieng's absence from Friday's injury report points to him being ready for his Bucks debut. Although he may be available off the bench, it's not yet clear if Dieng will immediately mix into the Milwaukee frontcourt rotation.

Bulls' Ousmane Dieng: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Dieng (recently traded) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Dieng was acquired via trade Wednesday and may be cleared in time to suit up for this contest. With the Bulls undergoing a rebuild, Dieng will have a chance to carve out a role for himself for the remainder of the season. He's set to be a restricted free agent this summer.

Bulls' Ousmane Dieng: Traded to Chicago
Rotowire
Oklahoma City traded Dieng to the Bulls on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The Bulls flipped Coby White and Mike Conley to the Hornets, while Collin Sexton will join Dieng in Chicago after this three-team deal.
Dieng was buried on the depth chart in Oklahoma City and will now get a fresh start in Chicago. Dieng has 136 regular-season appearances to his name across four seasons, posting career averages of 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.0 minutes. He's not guaranteed a rotation role right away in Chicago, to be clear. He can be considered doubtful to debut Thursday in Toronto.

Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Dieng is not with the team and won't play Wednesday against the Spurs.
It's unclear why Dieng is not with the team, but he's an inconsistent part of the Thunder's rotation, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues. Dieng's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Rockets.

Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Receives light minutes in return
Rotowire
Dieng (calf) tallied three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one assist across seven minutes in Friday's 117-116 win over the Grizzlies.
Available to play for the first time since Dec. 19 following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain, Dieng was needed to round out the Oklahoma City rotation while the Thunder were without seven players due to injury. Most of Dieng's appearances this season have come at the end of blowout games or when the Thunder have been down multiple key rotation pieces, so he could see his minutes disappear in Sunday's game against the Heat if one or more of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Chet Holmgren (shins) and Cason Wallace (toe) return to action after sitting out Friday.

Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Omitted from injury report
Rotowire
Dieng (calf) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Memphis, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Dieng is available to return following a 10-game absence with a right calf strain. He's averaged 12.5 minutes per game over 17 appearances on the season, and Dieng could see some decent run for the depleted Thunder on Friday.

Rotowire

Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Remains out indefinitely
Rotowire
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Portland.
Dieng will miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a right calf strain, though his absence shouldn't affect the Oklahoma City rotation. He is without a timetable for a return and can be considered week-to-week until the Thunder offer an update on his recovery.

Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Listed out with calf strain
Rotowire
Dieng is out for Monday's game against the Hawks with a right calf strain.
Monday will mark a fifth consecutive absence with the injury for Dieng. The forward didn't feature in the Oklahoma City rotation in the team's prior three games before he went down, so Dieng's absence doesn't appear to free up any playing time.

Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Sidelined vs. Philly
Rotowire
Dieng (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
Dieng is set to miss a fourth consecutive game with a right calf strain. Even though the big man doesn't have a timetable for his return, his absence won't have a big impact in fantasy since he rarely sees consistent playing time. Dieng's next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Monday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Rotowire
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Dieng will miss a third consecutive game due to a right calf strain, though his absence won't impact the Thunder's rotation all that much given that he was logging healthy DNPs prior to the injury. His next chance to play is Sunday against Philadelphia.

Rotowire
Dieng is out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs with a strained right calf.
Dieng will be out for consecutive contests with the injury. He wasn't part of the Oklahoma City rotation in the prior three games, so Dieng's absence doesn't impact how the minutes will be distributed.

Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Ruled out for Monday
Rotowire
Dieng won't suit up for Monday's matchup with Memphis due to a right calf strain.
Isaiah Hartenstein (leg) and Jaylin Williams (heel) will join Dieng on the inactive list, and both Chet Holmgren (back) and Aaron Wiggins (adductor) are questionable, so Cason Wallace could see big minutes in some small-ball lineups if all these guys are out. Dieng's next chance to play will come Tuesday in San Antonio.
