How Does the Thunder's Remaining Schedule Stack up Against the Rest of the NBA? A look at where the Thunder’s remaining strength of schedule

FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Remains out Thursday Williams (knee) will remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Suns, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact A sprained right knee kept Williams out of the Thunder's final game before the break and he'll remain sidelined to begin the stretch run. OKC's post-break schedule starts with a back-to-back set, so Williams will likely sit out Friday at Indiana, as well.

FEBRUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains without timetable Coach Mark Daigneault said Wednesday that Muscala (ankle) remains out, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Muscala has been dealing with a right ankle issue since early February and had been ruled out through the All-Star break, but Daigneault didn't offer an updated return timetable as the Thunder prepare to return to the court Thursday. Isaiah Roby and Derrick Favors should continue to serve as the team's top options at center.

FEBRUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still out after break Dort (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against the Suns, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact A strained left shoulder sidelined Dort for the final two games before the All-Star break, and the time off wasn't enough for him to heal and get back on the court. Ty Jerome (hip) and Kenrich Williams (knee) also remain shelved, so the Thunder will again be shorthanded in the backcourt and on the wing. Tre Mann, Aaron Wiggins, Aleksej Pokusevski and Theo Maledon remain candidates to see increased roles.

FEBRUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still dealing with hip injury Jerome (hip) will remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Suns, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact The reserve guard missed the final game before the break due to soreness in his left hip, and he's still battling the issue. The Thunder haven't provided a timetable, but with a back-to-back on tap, Jerome will likely miss Friday's game at Indiana, as well.

FEBRUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Thursday Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Suns, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander has been sidelined since late January due to a right ankle sprain, but he's been cleared to return to game action after resting during the All-Star break. He could face a minutes restriction against Phoenix following his lengthy absence.

Signs two-way deal Sarr (undisclosed) agreed to a two-way day contract with Oklahoma City on Monday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Sarr previously inked 10-day contracts with the Thunder in late December and early January while the team was missing several players due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. He appeared in two games over that stretch, logging a total of 14 minutes to go with four points, five boards and two blocks. Sarr has more recently been dealing with an undisclosed injury in the G League, as he hasn't appeared in game for the Thunder's affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue, since Feb. 9. Once he's deemed healthy, Sarr will have the ability to swing between the Blue and the Thunder, though he'll likely end up seeing most of his action in the G League.

Does dirty work for Team Worthy Giddey recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds and six assists during Friday's 50-49 loss to Team Isiah during the Rising Stars competition at All-Star Weekend...

Impact Giddey played his typical game during the All-Star festivities, as he finished with team highs in rebounds (nine) and assists (seven). The rookie only took two shots during the contest and finished with just two points, but his two missed free throws certainly loomed large as Team Worthy eventually lost by a single point in the new Rising Stars format.

Scores 24 in loss Mann closed Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Spurs with 24 points (10-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes.

Impact Mann was coming off a 30-point performance against the Knicks, and while he couldn't match that, it's worth noting that this is the first time he's recorded back-to-back games with at least 20 points this season. He's settling well as a starter and is averaging 13.9 points per game since moving into the first unit, though the efficiency has been lacking a bit, as he's making just 36.1 percent of his shots from the field.

FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Triple-double not enough in loss Giddey supplied 17 points (8-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Giddey might have needed 18 shots to score 17 points, but those efficiency issues do not matter much if the rookie continues to deliver these stat lines almost on a daily basis. Firmly entrenched as a core piece of the franchise's future, Giddey has been nothing short of excellent in recent weeks. He's averaging 16.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game while putting up a triple-double in each of his last three contests.
