Drains four threes in preseason win Mann totaled 17 points (6-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists and one rebound over 30 minutes Thursday in a 118-112 victory against San Antonio.
Impact Mann came off the bench in the contest but finished second on OKC with 30 minutes. He made only two of eight shots from two-point range but went 4-for-8 from beyond the arc en route to 17 points. Mann finished the preseason with per-game averages of 16.0 points, 3.0 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 3.8 three-pointers. He'll likely log substantial minutes as a reserve once the regular season begins.

Stuffs stat sheet in preseason win Giddey finished with 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in Thursday's win over the Spurs.
Impact Giddey put together another strong all-around effort in the preseason finale, placing second on the team in points and rebounds while tying for first in assists. Just as promisingly, he shot an efficient 7-for-13 from the field to wrap up a strong exhibition slate during which he posted a 52.8 percent field-goal rate that included an 8-for-15 mark from three-point range. Giddey is already going in rounds 4-6 in many fantasy drafts due to his all-around skill set, and he could outperform his ADP if he's able to improve upon his 41.9 percent mark from the field as a rookie last season.

Concludes preseason with 21 points Williams tallied 21 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two assists, one rebound and a steal over 31 minutes Thursday in a 118-112 win over San Antonio.
Impact Williams started for his second straight contest and logged a team-high 31 minutes. He was very efficient from the floor, missing only one of eight shot attempts and making his only three-point try. Williams was outstanding during the exhibition slate, shooting 61 percent from the field and posting per-game averages of 14.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals. He may not begin the regular season in the starting lineup, but his strong preseason play has likely earned him plenty of minutes regardless of his role.

Suffers quad injury Dort won't return to Thursday's preseason finale due to a left quad contusion, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact Dort hobbled off the court after he suffered a left quad contusion in the first half of the Thunder's final preseason game against the Spurs. With the forward not returning to the game, Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins will likely see an uptick in minutes.

Moves to bench Thursday Mann will come off the bench for Thursday's preseason finale against the Spurs.
Impact Mann started Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons, scoring 12 points while adding three assists, two rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes of action. With the Thunder experimenting with the lineup for the finale, Mann will shift to a reserve role Thursday as Jaylin Williams replaces him in the starting five.

Starting Thursday Williams will start in the Thunders' preseason finale against the Spurs, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact Williams has seen a minimal role so far in the preseason, but he could be in line for extended minutes as he's starting against San Antonio. Last preseason game, the center recorded two rebounds in eight minutes of action. Tre Mann will come off the bench with Williams starting.

Inks deal with OKC Oklahoma City signed Mokoka on Tuesday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact Mokoka joined the Bulls as an undrafted free agent ahead of the 2019-20 campaign and appeared in 25 contests over the next two seasons. The 6-foot-4 guard spent last year playing in France but will return to the NBA ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, though he'll likely wind up in the G League before too long.

Let go by Thunder The Thunder waived Gaddy on Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports
Impact Gaddy was signed by the Thunder on Oct. 10 and was subsequently waived Wednesday. The 30-year-old guard played four minutes in Tuesday's preseason game but did not record any stats. Gaddy's signing and waiving were likely done in order to move him to the team's G League affiliate.

Still not available Burke (undisclosed) didn't play in Tuesday's preseason win over Detroit.
Impact Burke was traded to the Thunder at the end of September, but he's yet to join his new team. The extent of the situation is unclear, but his final chance to suit up before the regular season begins will come Thursday against the Spurs.

Scores 15 points off bench Bazley recorded 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 115-99 preseason win over Detroit.
Impact Bazley didn't play in Sunday's exhibition against Ra'anana Maccabi due to rest, but he was back in action Tuesday and provided solid production off the bench. The 2019 first-round pick was one of four Thunder players to score at least 15 points and grabbed a team-high eight boards during the win. He appears to be fully recovered from season-ending knee surgery last year and is in line for a starting role to begin the 2022-23 campaign.
OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sidelined with right groin strain Williams didn't play in Tuesday's preseason win over Detroit due to a right groin strain.
Impact Williams was excluded from the starting lineup for last week's preseason loss to the Mavericks, but he played 20 minutes off the bench and racked up six points, six rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block. However, he hasn't played in any of the team's last three exhibition games and is apparently dealing with a groin issue. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Thursday's preseason finale against the Spurs.

Delivers mediocre performance Robinson-Earl amassed just six points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Tuesday's preseason win over Detroit.
Impact Robinson-Earl started at center for the Thunder, a role that appears to be his to lose. While the opportunity is certainly a nice one, he has yet to do anything to endear himself to fantasy managers. He can be snagged with a late-round pick for managers in desperate need of a center, although based on what we have seen thus far in his career, the upside is minimal.
OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Scores team-high 16 points Dort finished with 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 115-99 victory over the Pistons.
Impact Dort suited up for the first time since suffering a concussion during training camp, producing a well-rounded fantasy line. Having improved his offensive game over the past 12 months, the hope is that he can raise his production on the defensive end of the floor. Firmly entrenched as a starter, Dort makes for a viable target late in drafts, especially given the path to minutes when compared to other players in that range.
OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Shines in win Tuesday Williams ended with 16 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's preseason win over the Pistons.
Impact Williams moved into the starting lineup, ending with a productive line that emphasizes his upside. While his exact role to begin the season remains up in the air, he will almost certainly be given an opportunity to play regular minutes. The uncertainty, while present, should not deter fantasy managers when it comes to considering him with a late-round pick based on his potential.
