Logs one minute in season finale Dieng ended with no counting stats in one minute during Sunday's 103-91 victory over Indiana in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Impact Dieng checked in for just one minute during Oklahoma City's title-clinching win and didn't register a stat. The 22-year-old saw action in only nine of the team's 23 postseason games, averaging 3.6 minutes in those appearances. His role remained limited during the regular season as well, with the third-year forward averaging 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 10.9 minutes across 37 games, including one start.

Rare appearance Saturday Dieng amassed six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and one rebound in seven minutes during Saturday's 143-101 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Impact Dieng, along with a host of other fringe options, shifted into a more sizeable role as the Thunder were trounced by the Timberwolves. During what was a night to forget for Oklahoma City, the coaching staff opted to lean into the second and third units, allowing the starters some much-needed rest down the stretch. The Thunder still have a 2-1 lead in the series, with Game 4 scheduled for Monday in Minnesota.

Impact Dieng missed the Thunder's final 15 games of the regular season as well as the entire first-round playoff series sweep of the Grizzlies due to a left calf strain, but he was cleared to play ahead of the start of Round 2. He went unused in the Thunder's two-point loss in Game 1, but with Oklahoma City amassing a 48-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, Dieng got the chance to play for the first time since March 15 in the tail end of the blowout. The third-year forward will likely find himself outside of the rotation in more competitive games for the duration of the Thunder's playoff run.

Impact Dieng is set to miss his 18th straight game due to a left calf strain. There's no clear timetable for his return, though his next chance to play will come Saturday in Game 4. The 21-year-old had a limited role prior to the injury, averaging just 9.3 minutes over his last six appearances.

Ruled out for Game 2 Dieng is out for Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals Tuesday against the Grizzlies with a left calf strain.

Impact Dieng was last seen on the court for the March 15 regular-season loss to the Pistons, and his timetable for a return remains unclear. His next chance to suit up comes when the series moves to Memphis for Game 3 on Thursday. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams should handle the bulk of the frontcourt reserve minutes until Dieng is cleared to play.

Out for postseason opener Dieng (calf) is out for Game 1 against the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Impact Dieng missed the final 15 games of the regular season due to a calf problem, and that same injury will keep him out at the start of the playoffs. He's not expected to have a big role even if he's upgraded to available in the future, so his fantasy upside will remain close to minimal even in a best-case scenario. His next chance to play will come in Game 2 of the series Tuesday.
