Questionable to return Robinson-Earl is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Pistons due to right foot soreness, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
Impact Robinson-Earl sustained his injury in the second half of Friday's matchup, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return in the final minutes. If he's unavailable, Isaiah Roby, Olivier Sarr and Jaylen Hoard should see additional run.

Not playing Friday Mann (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Mann will be sidelined for a third straight game with a right hamstring strain, and given how liberally the noncontending Thunder have been with shutting players down, it wouldn't be surprising if the rookie didn't play in any of the team's remaining six contests. Vit Krejci has picked up starts in the backcourt in place of Mann in both of the past two games, averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 three-pointers and 2.0 steals in 33.5 minutes between those outings.

Unlikely to return this season Williams (knee) is not expected to return this season, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact Williams hasn't played since Feb. 14, so his presumed absence for the rest of the season won't affect the rotation. He'll likely finish the year having appeared in 49 games with averages of 7.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21.9 minutes.

Explodes for 25 points Waters provided 25 points (9-15 FG, 7-13 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 136-118 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Waters has been playing well off the bench of late and reached double digits in scoring for the third game in a row. However, the 25-point output was easily a season-best mark for the Oklahoma State product, as he hadn't even reached the 20-point plateau earlier this season.
MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hands out eight assists Pokusevski accumulated 13 points (4-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and eight assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 136-118 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Pokusevski has scored in double digits in four of his last five contests, and regardless of his role, he's been able to produce at a relatively consistent rate. He has recorded 10 or more points in all but three of his 15 appearances this month, averaging 12.2 points despite shooting 41.8 percent from the field in that span.
MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sniffs double-double Maledon had 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 136-118 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Maledon had a strong all-around game and ended just two dimes shy of posting what would've been his second double-double of the season. In fact, the eight assists tied Maledon's season-best output in that category, and it's also worth noting that he has scored 18 or more points in each of his last four appearances.
