Limited impact in win Dort had four points (1-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Thursday's 133-114 win over Philadelphia.

Over his six appearances in January, he's averaged 14.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 30.2 minutes per game, and Thursday's performance seemed to simply be an anomaly due to inefficiency.
