Luguentz Dort News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Team option picked up The Thunder picked up Dort's $17.7 million team option Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The Thunder are already heavily into the tax, but the franchise has every intention of getting back to the NBA Finals and this was a priority for the team. Dort averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting a career-low 38.5 percent from the field in 26.8 minutes per game across 69 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, but his defense is invaluable.

Scores three points in Game 7 loss Dort ended with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and one rebound over 16 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to San Antonio in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals...

Impact Dort logged fewer than 20 minutes for the third time over the final four games of the Western Conference Finals and failed to make a positive impact on the offensive end in his limited run Saturday. The 27-year-old swingman remained a mainstay in the Thunder's starting five in 2025-26, though his production took a significant step back. Dort averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting a career-low 38.5 percent from the field in 26.8 minutes per game across 69 regular-season appearances. The Thunder hold a $17.7 million team option on Dort's contract for 2026-27, creating some uncertainty around his future in Oklahoma City.

Scoreless in win Dort logged zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 123-108 win over San Antonio in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Impact While Dort has had a muted impact on the offensive end throughout the postseason, he failed to score for the first time in the 2026 playoffs. The defensive-minded swingman logged a series-high 23 minutes Friday, but given the strong play of Jared McCain and Cason Wallace, Dort could continue seeing reduced playing time, especially if Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Ajay Mitchell (undisclosed) are both available for Game 4.

Impact Dort's usage was very low in Game 1, but that's to be expected in the postseason. Through five playoff games, Dort has been very quiet with averages of 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists on 36.7 percent shooting from the field.

Impact Ajay Mitchell had the hot hand off the bench, and Alex Caruso was everywhere defensively, so Dort played a modest role Thursday. Through two postseason games, he's averaging 8.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals.

Lakers' sneaky wing fix could come from a truly shocking source The Los Angeles Lakers got two close-ups at Luguentz Dort that should not be ignored.

Not on injury report for Sunday Dort (undisclosed) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Utah.

Impact Dort suffered an undisclosed injury during Thursday's 139-96 win over the Lakers. However, it must not have been that big of an issue, considering he's not listed on the official injury report. With Dort in the rotation, Ajay Mitchell, who would have been in line to start, will continue to see work from off the bench.

Fails to return Dort (undisclosed) didn't return to Thursday's game against the Lakers. He finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), one assist and two steals in 21 minutes.

Impact Dort suffered an undisclosed injury during the third quarter, and the team neglected to provide an update after he was seen walking to the locker room. He can be considered day-to-day until Oklahoma City has more news to share on the nature of his injury.

Visits locker room Dort went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Lakers, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Dort was fouled on an attempt near the rim and was shaken up the play. He was spotted walking to the locker room to get evaluated during the next timeout. Dort can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Drains four threes Dort racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Dort didn't really stand out for the Thunder, but his three-point shooting prowess was worth highlighting. Even though he's going to take on a more secondary role on offense with the return of Jalen Williams, Dort could still generate value as a spot-up shooter from three-point range. Dort has drained two or more threes in five of his last eight games, although he's been far from efficient with a 29.8 percent of efficiency in that span. He's a good bet for volume-based shooting, not so much for being overly efficient.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury Report Dort (knee) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Monday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact Dort missed the last two games because of a knee issue. He'll likely take back his spot in the starting lineup, meaning Cason Wallace would head back to the bench.
