Injury Report: Thunder, Jazz Both Relatively Healthy Following All Star Break

In this story:
Oklahoma City returns to the court for the first time on Thursday following the All Star Break.
The Thunder continue to hang around a .500 record, and have a chance to reach .500 with a win against the Jazz on Thursday night. They’ll have the chance to do so with a healthier team than they had before the break.
The OKC injury report isn’t lengthy, but the missing players are key. Aleksej Pokusevski remains out with a significant knee injury, which continues to sideline him.
Both Aaron Wiggins and Tre Mann were optioned to the G League to play with the Blue prior to the All Star Break, but they have both been recalled to the active roster. Rookie Ousmane Dieng remains in the G League.
The Thunder have looked better than many had expected entering the season, but will once again have a tough opponent to continue to fight in the Western Conference.
The Jazz injury report is short with only Collin Sexton missing the game due to an injury.
Health and depth will be key factors in the matchup. Here are the most recent injury reports for both squads entering tonight:
Oklahoma City Thunder:
Chet Holmgren: Out: Right foot surgery
Aleksej Pokusevski: Out: Left Tibial Plateau nondisplaced fracture
Ousmane Dieng: Out: G League On Assignment
Utah Jazz:
Collin Sexton: Out: Left Hamstring Strain
Micah Potter: Out: G League Two-Way
Tip-off for the Jazz and Thunder is slated for 8 p.m. in Salt Lake City, the Jazz are currently 1-point favorites.
