Injury Report: Lu Dort questionable for Friday's matchup versus Washington
Russell Westbrook returns to Oklahoma City for the second time in an opposing uniform on Friday night as the Washington Wizards and the Thunder will lock up for the second time this week.
Looking to snap their 12-game losing streak, second year guard Luguentz Dort is expected to return to the lineup after missing two straight games nursing his hip back to health.
OKC fans will have to keep waiting to see the debut of Argentinian Gabriel Deck, who has landed in Oklahoma City, but must adhere to the COVID safety protocols and continue to test negative in quarantine for a week. The 6-foot-8 Real Madrid star averaged 8.8 points per game on 49 percent field goal shooting in this past Euroleague campaign.
