4 years agoOklahoma City Thunder power forward Aleksej Pokusevski (concussion) will be unavailable for Monday's game versus Miami as he enters the league's concussion protocol. The Thunder nabbed Pokusevski with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, and while his size (6'11") and age (19) bode well for his development, he has struggled mightily from the field thus far, shooting 2-for-21 overall, including 1-for-16 from long range. Having averaged 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in his limited bench role, there's oodles of upside for the Serbian if his shot can begin to fall. Oklahoma City's rotations figure to remain fluid as the year moves on, with no one player gaining a discernible advantage from Pokusevski's absence.--Jesse Borek
