4 years agoOklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Theo Maledon and power forward/center Isaiah Roby (foot) have been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Lakers. Maledon is missing his second outing as he returns to the league's health and safety protocols, while Roby's absence in the frontcourt paves the way for Al Horford to see a considerable increase in usage with Mike Muscala (concussion) in the concussion protocol. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is set to handle the vast majority of ball-handling duties without Maledon, while Luguentz Dort and Hamidou Diallo are set for increased roles out of the backcourt as well. The next chance that Maledon/Roby have to return comes Wednesday in a rematch with L.A.--Jesse Borek
