Hits three triples in win Joe closed with 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 137-106 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Sunday marked Joe's second game of the season, as he missed the first five due to a knee injury, but Joe has been able to produce immediately after returning, dropping at least 13 points, five rebounds, three threes and a steal in consecutive contests. His role may be reduced once Luguentz Dort (illness) and Jalen Williams (wrist) inevitably return, but Joe has done well in increased playing time when called upon.

Hot from distance in season debut Joe (knee) tallied 20 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes Thursday in the Thunder's 127-108 win over the Wizards.

Impact Cleared to make his season debut after missing the Thunder's first five games while recovering from a left knee contusion, Joe didn't exhibit any signs of rust. He was one of two Thunder bench players to put up 20 points in the runaway victory, with reserve guard Ajay Mitchell also achieving the feat. Though Joe should be a regular part of the Thunder's rotation now that he's healthy again, his playing time will likely trend down in more competitive games and when Oklahoma City gets Chet Holmgren (back) and Jalen Williams (wrist) back in action.
