3 years agoOklahoma City Thunder small/power forward Luguentz Dort (face) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings due to a facial contusion. Dort has enjoyed high level production over the past month, averaging 18.1 points and 2.9 made threes across his last 14 outings. Darius Bazley and Kenrich Williams stand to see elevated minutes and usage totals without Dort in the mix, although with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) also sidelined, Josh Giddey will likely have all of the offensive upside that he can handle. Dort, who led OKC in scoring in each of its last four outings, is next available to suit up Monday vs. Golden State.--Jesse Borek
