6 years agoOklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder will be held out of Monday’s contest versus the Portland Trail Blazers due to personal reasons. The team has not announced if Schroder’s absence will be an extended one, although just Thursday’s contest versus the New Orleans Pelicans remains prior to the All-Star break. Oklahoma City will also be down Jerami Grant on Monday, so look for Abdel Nader to step in and potentially help lead the second unit, while the All-Star duo of Russell Westbrook and Paul George are also likely to see larger roles than usual.--Jesse Borek
