Luguentz Dort Unsurprisingly Out Against Clippers
4 years agoOklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee, rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is reportedly dealing with a "knee" injury, but that is just OKC wanting to tank for draft position. Dort has made huge strides this season and the fact Oklahoma City must bench him in order to lose is saying something. Ty Jerome and Theo Maledon will see extra minutes during the regular season finale. Dort has played his way into an increased role in OKC next season.

Luguentz Dort Unavailable Friday
2 weeks agoOklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (knee) will not suit up for Friday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's among OKC's lengthy list of injuries due to a knee issue. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest), Jalen Williams (wrist), Isaiah Hartenstein (nose), and Cason Wallace (knee) will also be out on Friday, with Chet Holmgren (lower leg) potentially joining them on the sidelines. In this situation, the likes of Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Isaiah Joe should get plenty of extra work in Friday's game.

Isaiah Joe also received added minutes, with the former 76er finishing with 16 points and going 4-for-5 from behind the arc.

Luguentz Dort A Late Scratch On Friday Versus Raptors
1 month agoAccording to Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca, Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (back) is a late scratch and won't suit up against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Dort has been ruled out for the first half of a back-to-back set due to back spasms. While the 25-year-old is sidelined, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins will likely take on extra minutes. Wiggins could be a solid streaming option for Friday. He finished with 17 points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes in his last outing against the Suns on Monday.

Luguentz Dort To Play On Wednesday
2 months agoOklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Dort is set to return to the court after missing Sunday's contest due to a right knee issue. It was only a one game absence, so fantasy managers should expect Dort to have his regular workload on Wednesday. He hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option this season, but fantasy managers who have him rostered can safely get him back in their lineups on Wednesday. Aaron Wiggins will head back to the bench where he won't have as much streaming appeal.
