Iffy for Tuesday Dort (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Dort is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game due to illness. If the 26-year-old swingman is ultimately ruled out, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins are candidates for increased minutes.

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.

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.

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.
