Upgraded to questionable Pokusevski (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Pokusevski was initially listed as out following a missed game Monday against the Knicks, but he's feeling better than anticipated. With Mike Muscala (finger) out for at least two weeks, Pokusevski may see a slight minutes bump.

Remains sidelined Wednesday Pokusevski (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
Impact Pokusevski will miss his second consecutive game due to a sprained left ankle he suffered during Friday's game against the Grizzlies. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely start once again in his absence. Pokusevski's next opportunity to play will be Friday's game against the Bulls.

Out at least two weeks Muscala will be re-evaluated in two weeks with a broken left pinky finger, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Muscala has played a consistent depth role for the Thunder this season, with the big man averaging 6.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 12.8 minutes. His absence may open up more run for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Jaylin Williams and Darius Bazley.

Monday Thunder practice notes: Mark Daigneault, Jalen Williams The best quotes and paraphrases from the Thunder’s practice on Tuesday.
NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • USATODAY.COM
Swats three shots in return Bazley (ankle) played 18 minutes and finished with seven points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds and three blocks in Monday's 129-119 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Bazley -- who returned from a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain -- and Eugene Omoruyi served as the Thunder's top reserves in the frontcourt behind Kenrich Williams and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl while Aleksej Pokusevski (ankle) was sidelined. Assuming Pokusevski's injury is only a short-term concern, Bazley seems more likely than Omoruyi and Williams to retain a spot in head coach Mark Daigneault's rotation, given how all three players have been used when the Thunder are at full strength in the frontcourt. Even so, Bazley has eclipsed 20 minutes just three times in his 12 appearances on the season, which makes it difficult for him to be trusted as a fantasy option outside of deeper leagues.

Light run in return Mann (back) finished with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 12 minutes in Monday's 129-119 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Mann made his return from a three-game absence due to a sore back and saw a season-low minutes total for any game in which he didn't exit early due to injury. The second-year guard's playing-time outlook could improve slightly in the games to come, but it's also possible that finding more minutes for surging rookie Jalen Williams is a greater priority for the Thunder.
