Lindy Waters III News, Rumors, Updates - Golden State Warriors | FOX Sports

Set for first NBA start Waters will start Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Brandon Rahbar of Daily Thunder reports.

Impact With Tre Mann, Josh Giddey (hip) and Kenrich Williams (knee) all sidelined, the depleted Thunder will roll with Waters alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Aaron Wiggins, Darius Bazley and Isaiah Roby. It will be the first NBA start for the undrafted Oklahoma State product, who's coming off of a career-high 16 points in Tuesday's blowout loss to the Bucks.

Scores bench-leading 16 points Waters poured in 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and added three rebounds and a steal across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 142-115 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The Thunder reserves received increased playing time after the Bucks turned the game into a blowout just a few minutes into the fourth quarter, with Waters taking advantage of the garbage-time run to establish a new career high in scoring. Oklahoma City was down seven players Tuesday due to injury, and Tre Mann (ankle) was added to the list of wounded players ahead of Wednesday's game in Minnesota. Waters looks like he'll continue to hold down a rotation role for the next several contests while the Thunder are at less-than-optimal health.

Logs career-high 27 minutes Waters had five points (2-9 FG, 1-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 138-101 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Waters featured heavily in the rotation Friday but was unable to capitalize on the opportunity. While his role has increased over the past two weeks, he has not been a threat when it comes to cracking into the fantasy landscape. For now, managers in deeper formats should just keep an eye on the playing time to see if the role stabilizes moving forward.
