Darius Bazley - Back with starters Bazley will start Saturday's contest against the Cavaliers.

Impact Bazley has only started one of his past 13 appearances, but he'll move back into the lineup with Aaron Wiggins, who is on a two-way deal, heading down to the G League. As a starter this season, Bazley has averaged 8.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 27.1 minutes.

Aaron Wiggins - Assigned to G League Wiggins is out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, as he was assigned to the G League on Saturday, Andrew Schlect of The Athletic reports.

Impact This is pretty significant news, as Wiggins has appeared in the last 15 games for the Thunder, averaging 10.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.5 minutes. However, Wiggins is a two-way player, so he has limited NBA days available. As a result, we could see him bounce back and forth between the two clubs more often unless the organization decides to sign him to a standard deal.

Jalen McDaniels - Officially out Sunday McDaniels (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's matchup with the Hawks.

Impact No surprise here, as Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer previously reported that head coach James Borrego indicated Jalen McDaniels will miss some time. His absence is not expected to have much of an impact on the Hornets' rotation, but P.J. Washington could see some extra minutes at power forward.

Kenrich Williams - Solid production in return Williams (COVID-19 protocols) played 16 minutes off the bench and tallied seven points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists Friday in the Thunder's 121-98 loss...

Impact Aside from his poor shooting from the field, Williams turned in a strong outing in his return from a five-game absence while he was in the NBA's health and safety protocols. The 27-year-old may have had a slight restriction with his playing time while he works to regain conditioning, but he's unlikely to see his minutes spike from this level in any case while Oklahoma City has all its other key rotation pieces at full strength.
