Available after all Dieng (recently traded) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Not with team for Friday Dieng (recently traded) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Absent from injury report Dieng (recently traded) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Flipped to Milwaukee The Bulls traded Dieng to Milwaukee with Nick Richards going to Chicago, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Dieng was traded from Oklahoma City to Chicago on Wednesday, and now he's been flipped again. Milwaukee is not a bad landing spot for Dieng, as the team could pivot towards a youth movement down the stretch with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines. Dieng is questionable to debut Friday against the Pacers.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined until after All-Star break with abdominal strain

The Oklahoma City Thunder have announced that reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be out until after the All-Star break due to an abdominal strain

6 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Traded to Chicago Oklahoma City traded Dieng to the Bulls on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The Bulls flipped Coby White and Mike Conley to the Hornets in this three-team deal.

Impact Dieng was buried on the depth chart in Oklahoma City and will now get a fresh start in Chicago. Dieng has 136 regular-season appearances to his name across four seasons, posting career averages of 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.0 minutes. He's not guaranteed a rotation role right away in Chicago, to be clear. He can be considered questionable to debut Saturday against Denver.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Out for Wednesday Dieng is not with the team and won't play Wednesday against the Spurs.

Impact It's unclear why Dieng is not with the team, but he's an inconsistent part of the Thunder's rotation, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues. Dieng's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Rockets.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Receives light minutes in return Dieng (calf) tallied three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one assist across seven minutes in Friday's 117-116 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Available to play for the first time since Dec. 19 following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain, Dieng was needed to round out the Oklahoma City rotation while the Thunder were without seven players due to injury. Most of Dieng's appearances this season have come at the end of blowout games or when the Thunder have been down multiple key rotation pieces, so he could see his minutes disappear in Sunday's game against the Heat if one or more of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Chet Holmgren (shins) and Cason Wallace (toe) return to action after sitting out Friday.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Omitted from injury report Dieng (calf) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Memphis, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Dieng is available to return from a seven-game absence with a right calf strain. He's averaged 12.5 minutes per game over 17 outings this year, and Dieng could see some decent run for the depleted Thunder on Friday.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Dieng is still dealing with a right calf strain and will remain sidelined Wednesday. He should be considered doubtful ahead of Friday's game against Memphis until the Thunder provide an update on his status.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out indefinitely Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Impact Dieng will miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a right calf strain, though his absence shouldn't affect the Oklahoma City rotation. He is without a timetable for a return and can be considered week-to-week until the Thunder offer an update on his recovery.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out with calf strain Dieng is out for Monday's game against the Hawks with a right calf strain.

Impact Monday will mark a fifth consecutive absence with the injury for Dieng. The forward didn't feature in the Oklahoma City rotation in the team's prior three games before he went down, so Dieng's absence doesn't appear to free up any playing time.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined vs. Philly Dieng (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Dieng is set to miss a fourth consecutive game with a right calf strain. Even though the big man doesn't have a timetable for his return, his absence won't have a big impact in fantasy since he rarely sees consistent playing time. Dieng's next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Monday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against San Antonio Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Dieng will miss a third consecutive game due to a right calf strain, though his absence won't impact the Thunder's rotation all that much given that he was logging healthy DNPs prior to the injury. His next chance to play is Sunday against Philadelphia.
