Luguentz Dort News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma City Thunder

Ruled out Sunday Dort (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Dort will miss Sunday's game due to an illness, marking his first absence of the season. The gritty wing has struggled offensively to start the year, averaging 7.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals on 30.0 percent shooting across six starts. With the Arizona State product sidelined, Alex Caruso and Isaiah Joe are candidates to join the starting lineup.

Solid line in win Dort produced 13 points (4-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 107-101 victory over the Kings.

Impact Dort didn't have much luck from beyond the arc, but he saw a massive workload once again and put together a solid game on both ends of the court. Dort's fantasy appeal isn't the greatest due to the amount of offensive firepower on Oklahoma City -- through five regular-season contests, Dort is averaging 7.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 36.5 minutes per game.

Will play vs. Indiana Dort (ankle) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Pacers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Impact Dort has been dealing with an ankle issue, which threatened to sideline him for the second game of the regular season. Even though he played 45 minutes in the season opener, he'll be good to go.

Questionable for Thursday Dort is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Dort must have tweaked his ankle during Oklahoma City's season opener and now he's in jeopardy of missing Thursday's game. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround, but if he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Aaron Wiggins and Ajay Mitchell.

Logs 45 minutes in double-overtime Dort chipped in six points (2-12 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 45 minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime victory over the Rockets.

Impact Dort finished second on the team in minutes played in this double-overtime thriller. His usage rate was solid and he hoisted up 12 shots from the field, but he couldn't get many to fall. There won't be a ton of shots available when the Thunder add Jalen Williams (wrist) and Isaiah Joe (knee) back to the mix, making Dort a low-end fantasy asset despite his consistent workloads.

Will play Tuesday Dort (rest) will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Dort will be back in the first five Tuesday after missing Saturday's preseason matchup against the Pacers for rest purposes. He joins Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstein in the starting lineup.

Won't play vs. Indiana Dort (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Pacers.

Impact Dort is one of many notable players on his squad that will not play Saturday due to rest purposes. The defending NBA champions have only 10 active players available against Indiana.

Will play vs. Charlotte Dort (rest) has been cleared to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

Impact Dort will make his preseason debut after missing the first two matchups against the Hornets and Mavericks. The defensive-minded guard missed the first two preseason games for rest purposes.

OCTOBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Dort (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's exhibition versus the Mavericks, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.

Impact Dort will wind up skipping the Thunder's first two preseason road games, but we suspect he'll be in uniform for Thursday's preseason home opener against the Hornets. His absence should open up some minutes for Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and Nikola Topic.

OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Sunday Dort (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.

Impact Dort, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Ajay Mitchell will all take a seat Sunday during the first half of a preseason back-to-back set. Their next chance to suit up will come Monday in Dallas.

Sees 35 minutes in win Dort contributed nine points (3-10 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and three steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 victory over the Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Impact Playing in his sixth NBA season, Dort posted another reliable campaign on the wings in Oklahoma City, ultimately resulting in a championship run. The 26-year-old wing appeared in 71 regular-season contests, posting averages of 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 blocks, 1.1 steals and 2.4 three-pointers on 43.5 percent shooting from the field. Dort is under contract for one more season with a club option worth $18.2 million in 2026-27.

Another dissapointing performance Dort chipped in three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and four rebounds in 21 minutes during Thursday's 108-91 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Impact Dort was a non-factor in the loss, continuing what has been a modest yet underwhelming postseason. He has now scored single digits in nine of the past 12 games, posing very little threat on the offensive end. Game 7 will be in Oklahoma City on Sunday, with both teams looking to end what has been an enthralling NBA Finals.
