Impact The Thunder will bring Pokusevski back into the starting five after three games off the bench. In his two starts, he averaged 5.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 18.5 minutes.

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER 11-3 · 2ND IN WESTERN CONFERENCE
11-3 · 2ND IN WESTERN CONFERENCE
Starting Saturday Pokusevski will start Saturday's game at Dallas, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Available Saturday Williams (eye) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Andrew Schlecht reports.
Impact As of Thursday, the rookie was without a timetable for a return, so his availability Saturday is surprising, especially since he underwent surgery just over a week ago. He hasn't played since the opener, which is when he suffered the orbital fracture. It remains to be seen what sort of role he'll have in the rotation, as the Thunder have plenty of young guards.

Assigned to Oklahoma City Blue Dieng has been sent down to the Thunder's G League affiliate Oklahoma City Blue, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact Dieng was expected to bounce back and forth between the two rosters as OKC utilizes their G League affiliate heavily in player development and as the Thunder begin to become healthier the timing of this move certainly makes sense. Dieng appeared in each of the Thunder's five regular season games, recording 1.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 12.6 minutes per game.

Prouction wanes in victory Robinson-Earl accumulated five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes during Thursday's 118-110 win over the Clippers.
Impact Robinson-Earl get the starting nod but managed just 15 minutes in the win. Despite a somewhat consistent role, he has been unable to produce much in the way of fantasy value. The Thunder are clearly not afraid to shuffle their rotation based on the opponent, and so Robinson-Earl should probably not be on the radar outside of deeper formats.
OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bounce back effort Thursday Pokusevski totaled 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Thursday's 118-110 win over the Clippers.
Impact After his minutes were significantly reduced over the past couple of games, Pokusevski gained some traction in the win, reminding everyone what he is capable of on occasion. We certainly aren't trusting him after this performance but he is someone to keep an eye on just in case his playing time sticks at around 25 minutes.
OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Productive in Thursday's win Dort supplied 21 points (9-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 118-110 win over the Clippers.
Impact Dort got things going in the win, popping off for a season-high 21 points. The scoring has been a bit up and down thus far, although he has managed to rack up a combined eight steals over the first five games of the season. When healthy, his role is assured and so as long as you can deal with the scoring inconsistencies, he should remain a viable asset in competitive leagues the rest of the way.

Scores two points in 13 minutes Dieng supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across 13 minutes during Thursday's 118-110 victory over the Clippers.
Impact Dieng managed just 13 minutes in the victory, continuing what has been a mediocre start to his career. Truth be told, he was never seen as an immediate part of their rotation and so drafting him should have been out of the question. With that said, he has shown some nice flashes, and when the Thunder shift into lottery ball mode, he could slide into a larger role.

Still no timetable for return Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said Thursday that Williams is "progressing and getting closer" but remains without a firm timetable for return, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets...
Impact Williams underwent surgery last Friday to repair a right orbital fracture, and based on Daigneault's comments, it sounds like the 21-year-old may not return until the first week of November, at the earliest. As long as Williams is sidelined, Aaron Wiggins and Ousmane Dieng should continue to see slightly increased roles.
