Aleksej Pokusevski Nearing A Return
1 year agoOklahoma City Thunder forward/center Aleksej Pokusevski (leg) is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. Pokusevski appeared in 34 games in 2022-23, starting 25. While he had a few impressive showings, he sustained a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture in his left leg, forcing him to miss a large chunk of the year. Unfortunately, injuries have been a common theme for the 2020 No. 17 overall pick, and his development has suffered as a result. Despite that, Pokusevski has demonstrated he can be a productive player. However, he may have a tough time breaking into the Thunder's rotation during the 2023-24 campaign, considering Chet Holmgren, Ousmane Dieng, Jaylin Williams, and Jalen Williams, among others, will battle for minutes at the four and five spots.
