Luguentz Dort News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma City Thunder

Plays light minutes in blowout win Dort (knee) tallied 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block across 22 minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 131-80 win over the Grizzlies in...

Impact Dort was sidelined for the Thunder's final three games of the regular season due to right patellofemoral injury management, but his absences were seemingly precautionary with Oklahoma City having clinched the league's best record. The veteran forward was fresh heading into the start of the postseason, but the Thunder didn't have to overextend Dort in the blowout win. He played 22 minutes -- seven less than his season average -- before the Thunder subbed out Dort, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren out of the game for good while up 51 points with 4:50 remaining in the third quarter.

Available for Game 1 on Sunday Dort (knee) has been upgraded to available for Game 1 against the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Impact Dort missed the final three games of the regular season, but the Thunder exercised extreme caution with the star defender since the team had already locked up the top seed in the Western Conference. Across 71 regular-season appearances this season, Dort averaged 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.2 minutes per game.

Expected to play in postseason Dort (knee) is expected to play in the postseason.

Impact Dort missed the final three regular-season games, but his absences were likely precautionary, as the Thunder already had the No. 1 seed locked up. Across 71 regular-season appearances this season, Dort averaged 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.2 minutes per game.

Ruled out for Sunday Dort (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Just like it happened Friday against the Jazz, the Thunder will rest the majority of their regular rotation members for this regular-season finale after securing not only the top seed in the Western Conference, but also the best record in the league. Dort is a key two-way player for the Thunder, as he's excellent as a perimeter defender who has also developed a respectable three-point shot. He ends the regular season with averages of 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game while shooting a career-best 41.2 percent from three-point range.

Ruled out for Friday Dort (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Ruled out vs. Phoenix Dort (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Impact After scoring 17 points in Tuesday's win against the Lakers, Dort won't be available on Wednesday in Phoenix. Aaron Wiggins, Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Joe could be in line to see more minutes against the Suns.

Comes close to double-double Dort totaled 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-103 victory over Detroit.

Impact Dort finished just three rebounds shy of recording a double-double in this matchup, and the defensive specialist continues to stuff the stat sheet for the Thunder every time he steps on the hardwood. Dort has scored in double digits in eight of his 13 appearances since the beginning of March, and while he often occupies a secondary role on the Thunder's offensive scheme, he continues to find ways to contribute on a regular basis. Over that 13-game stretch, Dort is averaging 11.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals per contest. Those aren't eye-popping numbers, but Dort should remain valuable in most formats, but particularly in category-based leagues.

Strikes for 22 against Pacers Dort registered 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-7 3Pt), five rebounds, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 win over Indiana.

Impact It's his best scoring effort in four starts since returning from a three-game absence due to a hip injury, Dort has seen his typically low shot volume during that stretch, but he's been incredibly efficient from long distance while being busier than usual on defense, averaging 13.5 points, 3.5 boards, 3.5 threes, 2.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks since his return while shooting a blistering 58.3 percent (14-for-24) from beyond the arc.

Cleared to play Sunday Dort (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Dort will return to action following a three-game absence streak due to a pinched nerve in his right hip. Over his last five outings, the 25-year-old swingman has averaged 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals across 32.8 minutes per contest.

Questionable to play Sunday Dort (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Dort missed the blowout win over the Hornets due to a pinched nerve in his right hip, but the questionable tag suggests he might have an outside chance to suit up Sunday. If Dort is unable to play, and knowing that Jalen Williams (hip) has already been ruled out, then Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams, or even Isaiah Joe, would be in line to see more minutes.

Ruled out Sunday Dort (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Dort sustained the right hip soreness during Saturday's win over the Pistons, and he didn't return after exiting to the locker room in the third quarter. Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams will likely see an uptick in playing time due to Jalen Williams (hip) and Dort being sidelined. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against the 76ers.

Impact Dort looked to be reaching toward his groin area when he suffered the injury late in the third quarter of Saturday's contest, but the Thunder provided more clarity on the nature of his health concern following the game. He finished the night with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes. The Thunder will finish out a back-to-back set with a matchup Sunday against the Bucks, so Dort can be viewed as questionable for that contest.

Impact Dort suffered the injury when he slipped awkwardly after his foot tangled with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Dort did not return after going to the locker room, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Bucks. Isaiah Joe and Alex Caruso would stand to see their minutes increase if Dort is ruled out for Sunday's contest.
