Oklahoma City Thunder's Luguentz Dort Ruled Out For Thursday vs. Suns

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out of Thursday’s matchup with the Phoenix Suns, per Daily Thunder’s Brandon Rahbar.

After missing the final two games prior to the All-Star Break, Dort is now set to miss further action on the other side of the season intermission. Oklahoma City may not be so inclined to rush their second-leading scorer back from injury as they currently sit seven games behind any sort of play-in contention and are likely already looking ahead to next season. With Dort out of the lineup, expect rookie guard Tre Mann to see more minutes while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey should see even more volume than normal.

Dort has averaged 17.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game in 51 starts this season.

Phoenix Suns vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Odds
