Josh Giddey - Grabs eighth double-double Giddey finished Wednesday's 123-102 loss to the Grizzlies with 10 points (4-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes.
Impact Giddey didn't have one of his better nights shooting the ball, going just 1-of-6 from the field for three points in the first half to go along with six rebounds. He contributed only seven more points in the second half on 3-of-7 shooting while grabbing another four boards to notch his eighth double-double of the season. The Thunder guard shot just 30.8 percent in the contest, his lowest shooting percentage since Nov. 1, though the double-double was his third in his last four games.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - Makes 17 free throws in loss Gilgeous-Alexander posted 26 points (4-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 17-19 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 123-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Gilgeous-Alexander went just 2-of-7 from the field in the first half but still racked up 14 points after hitting nine of 10 free-throw attempts. This trend continued in the second half where the Thunder guard went 8-of-9 from the foul line while knocking down just two more field goal attempts, both of which came in the third quarter. Though he still managed to match Ja Morant with a game-high 26 points on the night, Gilgeous-Alexander did see his seven-game streak with at least 30 points come to an end.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luguentz Dort - Won't play Wednesday Dort has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Memphis due to a left knee contusion.
Impact Dort was a late addition to Oklahoma City's injury report, and he'll be unable to suit up due to his knee issue. Kenrich Williams (knee) has also been ruled out, so Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins should see increased run against the Grizzlies.

Kenrich Williams - Still sidelined Wednesday Williams (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Impact Williams will miss his second straight game due to a right knee sprain. Aaron Wiggins should continue to see extended minutes with the 27-year-old forward out. Williams will have plenty of time to heal his knee before Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Isaiah Joe - Solid production in limited action Joe chipped in nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 10 minutes during Monday's 121-114 win over the Hawks.
Impact Joe nailed a trio of three-pointers and added multiple assists and steals in just 10 minutes of action. The third-year guard hasn't needed much playing time to make an impact this season, as he's posting 5.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 9.3 minutes across 15 appearances.

OKC Thunder news: Ousmane Dieng assigned to the G League's Blue After a career night to cap off an impressive stretch, Ousmane Dieng returns to the OKC Blue.

Mike Muscala - Rejoins rotation Monday Muscala (finger) tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one steal across 14 minutes in Monday's 121-114 win over the Hawks.
Impact After missing the Thunder's final five games of November with a broken left pinkie finger, Muscala was cleared to play in advance of Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, but he went unused in the 135-128 win. The absence of Kenrich Williams (knee) in Monday's contest reopened a spot in the rotation for Muscala, who delivered a solid line during his limited time on the floor. With the likes of Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Aleksej Pokusevski and Darius Bazley all representing greater developmental priorities in the frontcourt, Muscala isn't a lock to be included in head coach Mark Daigneault's rotation every game even though he's healthy again.

Ousmane Dieng - Sent to G League The Thunder assigned Dieng to the team's G League Oklahoma City affiliate Tuesday, Andrew Schlecht reports.
Impact Dieng has recently seen a fair amount of action, logging double-digit minutes in each of the last five games and posting a season-high 15 points last time out. He will head to the G League to get in some extra work, but it seems likely he will rejoin the parent organization in short order.
