Ousmane Dieng - Sniffs triple-double in winDieng delivered 20 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks across 37 minutes in Thursday's 117-89 preseason win over the New Zealand Breakers.
ImpactDieng has made over 30 appearances for the Thunder in each of his first two seasons in the NBA, and he continues to grow as a player after being one of the youngest players selected in the 2022 NBA Draft. Dieng isn't expected to play a prominent role for the Thunder once the regular season begins in late October, but he might get an extra look in the Thunder's final two preseason contests against the Nuggets and Hawks before the start of the regular season on Oct. 24.

Dillon Jones - Shines in win ThursdayJones racked up 23 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, four steals and two blocks across 35 minutes in Thursday's 117-89 preseason win over the New Zealan...
ImpactSeveral young players got the chance to play extended minutes in this contest for the Thunder, but it'd be hard to find anyone who took more advantage of the opportunity than Jones, who filled the stat sheet admirably and made his presence felt on both ends of the court with a strong double-double. Jones, the 26th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, isn't expected to play a big role for the Thunder as a rookie, but this game certainly gives a glimpse of his potential as a two-way threat in The Association.

Adam Flagler - Scores 25 points in preseason gameFlagler notched 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a steal across 35 minutes in Thursday's 117-89 preseason win over the New Zealand Breakers.
ImpactThe Thunder rested all of their regular and gave extra minutes to players with a minimal shot of making the Opening Night roster, but Flagler certainly made the most of the opportunity. He led the Thunder in scoring and could've earned some extra minutes ahead of Oklahoma City's final two preseason games, against Denver and Atlanta, on Oct. 15 and 17, respectively.
