Lu Dort has been ruled out for the OKC Thunder’s road game against the Golden State Warriors at 10 p.m. Tuesday due to a right adductor strain. A timeline for his return has not yet been provided.
Dort is averaging eight points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 29.1 minutes this season. He’s shooting 38.2% from the field and 31.2% from deep.
OKC boasts the best defensive rating in the NBA (103.6) thanks in part to Dort. He earned an All-Defensive first team selection last season and is thriving on that end of the floor once again as a 6-foot-4 guard who can hold his own against larger opponents.
Aaron Wiggins returned from a left adductor strain during OKC’s 123-115 road win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. He missed 11 straight games, although the grade of each injury is unclear.
OKC (20-1) boasts the best record in the NBA, and it’ll look to extend its league-best winning streak to 13 games on Tuesday.
The Thunder will also be without Alex Caruso (right quad soreness) and Isaiah Hartenstein (right soleus strain) for the second straight game.
