Luguentz Dort, Aleksej Pokusevski Will Miss Saturday’s Game
4 years agoOklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Luguentz Dort (hip) and small forward Aleksej Pokusevski (knee) have both been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Indiana. Dort is coming off a tremendous month of April in which he averaged 24.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 46.3 percent from behind the arc over a seven-game stretch. Pokusevski has continued to see a sizable workload despite his concerning shooting metrics, which sit at 32.3 overall on the year, including 26.1 from deep. Theo Maledon and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk stand to see elevated workloads in the backcourt without Dort, while Gabriel Deck and Kenrich Williams could get larger minutes totals without Pokusevski in the mix.
