Out at least two weeks Muscala will be re-evaluated in two weeks with a broken left pinky finger, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Muscala has played a consistent depth role for the Thunder this season, with the big man averaging 6.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 12.8 minutes. His absence may open up more run for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Jaylin Williams and Darius Bazley.

Shifting to bench Muscala will move to the bench for Monday's game at Detroit, Brandon Rahbar of Daily Thunder reports.

Impact Muscala was in the starting five Saturday at Milwaukee, but the Thunder will pivot to a different lineup Monday featuring rookie Jalen Williams at one forward spot. Muscala finished Saturday's loss with nine points and five boards in 17 minutes.

Starting Sunday Muscala will start Saturday's game at Milwaukee, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Impact Muscala makes his first start of the season, and it's alongside Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. Muscala is averaging 6.6 points and 4.7 rebounds in 13.1 minutes, making him a streaming option in deep leagues at best.

Solid contributor off bench Muscala racked up eight points (4-5 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 108-94 win over the Clippers.

Impact Muscala missed only one shot from the field and ended just two points shy of a double-double despite logging only 18 minutes. He's yet to clear the 20-minute hurdle this season, but the veteran has two double-digit scoring games and three games with at least six boards across his first four appearances, so he's clearly making the most of his limited on-court time.

Shines off the bench Muscala produced 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one block in 11 minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 116-106 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact For the second game in a row, Muscala had an eye-popping performance in limited run off the bench, as he nearly came away with a double-double despite seeing less than a quarter of action. In the Thunder's previous game Saturday against the Nuggets, Muscala erupted for 18 points in just 19 minutes of court time. The pair of strong showings in the weekend back-to-back set may not necessarily earn Muscala more playing time, but he should be firmly a part of the Thunder's frontcourt rotation for the time being.

Available for opener Muscala (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's season opener against the Timberwolves, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Muscala didn't participate in the preseason while working his way back from an ankle injury, but it appears he'll avoid missing regular-season action. The big man will likely log more minutes than was expected after rookie second-overall pick Chet Holmgren suffered a season-ending Linsfranc injury at a pro-am event in late August.

Unlikely to play in preseason Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said Thursday that Muscala (ankle) is likely to remain sidelined for the rest of the preseason, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Muscala has missed both of Oklahoma City's preseason games due to an ankle sprain, and it sounds like he's unlikely to appear until the regular season begins Oct. 19. In his absence, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl should continue to operate as the primary center, while Darius Bazley and Jaylin Williams could see some additional run at the five this preseason.

Out for preseason opener Muscala (ankle) isn't with the team for Monday's preseason opener against the Nuggets, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Muscala is listed with a left ankle sprain, so while he's out, it's encouraging that he's still not tending to the ankle injury he had surgery on. The extent of his current issue is unclear, but his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Mavericks.
