Fri Jun 6 | 07:25 | Luguentz Dort Knocks Down Five Triples in Game 1 |
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort finished with 15 points in Game 1 against the Pacers, finishing as the team's third-highest scorer behind only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams. All 15 of his points came on three-pointers, as he went 5-for-9 from long range and also added four steals, four rebounds, two blocks, and an assist. His non-scoring numbers are always solid, but he'll be a key contributor for the Thunder and fantasy managers if he stays so involved in scoring as well. The 26-year-old has double-digit points in seven of his 17 games this postseason while averaging 8.2 points per contest. |

Fri Mar 21 | 14:08 | Luguentz Dort Sidelined On Friday |
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (hip) has been ruled out of Friday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets due to a hip impingement. This will be the third consecutive missed game for Dort, but the Thunder have already clinched their division and hold a 12.5-game lead for the first seed, so they'll likely be cautious leading into the playoffs. If Cason Wallace (questionable - shoulder) doesn't play, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins should remain in the starting five. In their last game, Joe posted 21 points, five assists, and three rebounds while Wiggins collected 26 points, six assists, and four rebounds. |

Sun Mar 16 | 19:09 | Luguentz Dort Will Miss Sunday's Game |
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (hip) will not suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The highly-rated defender suffered a hip injury in Saturday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. Dort's exit from the lineup opens up a starting spot for Sunday's game. It may be filled by Aaron Wiggins (illness) if he shakes off a questionable tag before the game. Isaiah Joe and Alex Caruso are also among the candidates to start. |

Isaiah Joe also received added minutes, with the former 76er finishing with 16 points and going 4-for-5 from behind the arc. With Chet Holmgren (rest) getting the night off, Wiggins and Joe could both find themselves starting, increasing their fantasy potential. |

Tue Jan 28 | 20:28 | Luguentz Dort To Play On Wednesday |
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Dort is set to return to the court after missing Sunday's contest due to a right knee issue. It was only a one game absence, so fantasy managers should expect Dort to have his regular workload on Wednesday. He hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option this season, but fantasy managers who have him rostered can safely get him back in their lineups on Wednesday. Aaron Wiggins will head back to the bench where he won't have as much streaming appeal. |

Due to an injury, Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Luguentz Dort (ankle) will not suit up against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Dort left Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers in the first quarter, limping off with what seemed to be a knee injury but was later confirmed to be a right ankle sprain. Dort has been averaging 9.8 points per game this season. He also contributes 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. Aaron Wiggins and Adam Flagler are possible replacements at small forward. |

Tue May 14 2024 | 09:47 | Luguentz Dort Sinks Three Triples En Route To 17 Points |
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort made a mark with 17 points, eight rebounds, and one block in Monday's Game 4 victory against Dallas. Both teams struggled to score the basketball, and Dort finished with a 4-for-14 record from the field. Three of his makes came from 10 three-point attempts. He added six points with perfect free-throw shooting. Dort has been shooting the three-ball well in the postseason, hitting 42.9 percent of his efforts. However, his shooting numbers have started to drop in the series against the Mavericks, as Dort spends a lot of energy on the defensive end, trying to slow down Luka Doncic as much as possible. The defensive specialist averages 10.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.0 steals for the playoffs. |

Wed Jan 31 2024 | 15:52 | Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort Available Wednesday |
Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) and Luguentz Dort (ankle) are available to play in Wednesday's tilt versus the Denver Nuggets. The two starters were getting up some shots at the end of the team's shootaround on Wednesday morning, indicating that they were on the right track to suit up. Gilgeous-Alexander is dealing with a non-COVID illness, but it shouldn't affect his workload against the defending champions. The 25-year-old MVP candidate ranks as fantasy's No. 1 overall player in nine-category leagues, racking up 31.3 points on 54.7% field-goal shooting, 6.4 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 1.2 triples per game for the Thunder in 2023-24. Dort is nursing soreness in his left ankle but should handle his usual allotment of minutes on the wing as a three-and-D presence in OKC's starting five. |

Sat Jan 20 2024 | 09:48 | Luguentz Dort Listed As Questionable Saturday |
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (illness) is in danger of missing a second consecutive game, as the team considers him questionable for Saturday's matchup against Minnesota. Dort missed his second game of the season Thursday versus Utah due to an illness, and he's still trying to get over the bug. Cason Wallace jumped into the starting five on Thursday and will likely remain in the role if Dort can't return versus the Timberwolves. The Kentucky product had one of the best games of his young career with a 16-point effort across 32 minutes on Thursday. However, he's set to face the No. 1 ranked defense on Saturday, and it will likely be difficult to repeat the performance. |

Thu Jan 18 2024 | 20:26 | Luguentz Dort Ruled Out On Thursday |
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. His status was uncertain coming into this game, but the team will ultimately hold him out due to this illness. Ousmane Dieng (illness) will join him on the bench, which should open up some playing time for the reserve players. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe figure to both benefit during Thursday's game. Between the two, Joe is the better streaming option. He's coming off a 15-point performance during his last game. |

He ended with 27 points, five rebounds, one assist, and one block while shooting 8-for-14 from the floor and 4-for-8 from beyond the arc. Dort is always going to be one of most important rotational players on the team, so when he's playing well, it usually means good things for the entire team. He should also have a field day with the struggling wings of the Timberwolves in their next contest. |

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (hamstring) is suffering from a hamstring strain that will keep him from playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. The 23-year-old has been able to play through a lot of smaller ailments this season as is shown by the fact he's only missed one other game so far. With that being said, the hamstring strain must be a little more serious. While he's out, Tre Mann and Isaiah Joe could be good streaming options in deeper leagues. |

Wed Dec 7 2022 | 16:46 | Luguentz Dort Will Miss Wednesdayâs Contest |
Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Luguentz Dort (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Memphis due to a left knee contusion. The absence will mark the first of the year for Dort, opening up minutes on the wing for Jalen Williams, Isaiah Joe and others. While multiple OKC players will see a slight uptick in value, so will Ja Morant, who avoids Dort's tenacious defense. While Dort has shot just 40.5% overall through his first 24 games, he is on pace for new career bests in rebounds (4.6), assists (2.3) and steals (1.2) per contest, making him a worthy addition in medium-sized or larger formats. His next chance to suit up comes Saturday against the Cavaliers. |

Fri Sep 23 2022 | 22:12 | Luguentz Dort Should Be Ready For Training Camp |
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is expected to be 100 percent healthy heading into training camp. This is great to hear after Dort underwent surgery on his shoulder in March. The Thunder have invested quite a lot of money in Dort with a five year deal worth $87.5 million. He's expected to be a key player for this organization going forward. He's strong on both sides of the court and could be a borderline top-100 player, assuming everything falls into place for him. |
