INJURIES

Called up Friday Dieng will be available for the Thunder for Friday's game against the Bulls, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
Impact Dieng played with the G League Blue earlier Friday and will have the chance to play once again Friday night with the Thunder. Dieng will likely not be in the rotation with the Thunder at full health. However, the Oklahoma City rotation has been incredibly variable this season.

Ousmane Dieng Continues to Show Promise With OKC Blue One of the Thunder’s lottery-pick rookies is impressing for OKC’s G League affiliate.
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Sent back to G League Dieng was assigned to the G League on Tuesday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
Impact Dieng was recalled from the Blue last week but will rejoin the G League affiliate for the team's opener Wednesday afternoon. The rookie first-round pick has played 42 minutes between the last two games but converted just one of his seven attempts from the field Monday and none of his four attempts from deep, so he'll likely get some extended run with the G League squad to work on his game.
NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
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.

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.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • SACBEE.COM
Available Sunday Dieng (knee) is available for Sunday's exhibition game against Ra'anana Maccabi, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact Dieng sat out Thursday's matchup against the 36ers due to a knee injury, but he'll be able to return to the court Sunday. It's not yet clear whether the knee injury will be a concern for the remainder of the preseason, but it seems unlikely that the issue will impact his availability for the Thunder's regular-season opener in Minnesota on Oct. 19.
OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will not play Thursday Dieng (knee) was ruled out for Thursday's tilt with the 36ers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports
Impact Dieng's presence on the injury report comes as a bit of a surprise, considering he appeared in each of Oklahoma City's preseason games and recorded at least 20 minutes in both. The rookie will have until Oct. 19 to rest up for the regular-season opener in Minnesota.
OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ready for preseason Dieng (wrist) will be available for Monday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact Dieng was shut down during Summer League due to a chip fracture in his right wrist, but the team confirmed Monday that he's good to go for the start of the preseason. He figures to battle for a bench role at the forward positions throughout the preseason.

Out for rest of Summer League Dieng is out for the rest of Summer League due to a slight chip fracture in his right wrist but is expected to be ready for the beginning of training camp, Nick Crain of SI.com rep...
Impact Though the injury sounds relatively serious, the rookie will apparently be fine for training camp, which is great news. The forward was selected with the 11th overall pick in last month's draft. In his five Summer League appearances, he averaged 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 22.7 minutes.
