The Thunder vs. Bucks injury report features a lot of notable names
A stonemason Oklahoma City Thunder will conclude their four-game road trip on Wednesday night vs Milwaukee Buckswith both teams facing extended injury reports. Surprising wins on Martin Luther King Day with only 10 active Thunder players in Monday’s win against the Cleveland Cavs, coach Mark Daigneault will try to do it again.
Alex Caruso and Jaylin Williams, who both exited the Thunder’s win against the Cavs with respective injuries, join Jaylen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein on the injury report. Caruso has been ruled out with a right adductor strain, while Jaylin is listed as questionable with a left glute contusion. Jalen and Hartenstein remain out of the Thunder in the injury report.
Myles Turner is listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle on the Bucks’ injury report. Kevin Porter Jr. is also listed as questionable with an oblique strain and Bick Prince is out with a neck injury.
Marc Daigneault wins with just 10 Thunder players
Thunder head coach Marc Daigneault watched Alex Caruso and Jaylin Williams left the Thunder’s win against the Cavs early before the defending champions pulled out a win with just 10 active players. After the game, Daigneault praised the Thunder for their consistent approach despite how thin the bench was.
“What I love about this team is that we have a group of guys who see those types of setbacks as a challenge,” Daigneault said. “And that became our challenge tonight with just Chet in the frontcourt. So we played a little bit (for) a lot of minutes. Kenrich did a great job, but the whole team did a great job. Even with Allen there, we were small in the first half and the guys really battled.
“Then, I thought, huge minutes from Wiggins, Isaiah Joe; those guys were big tonight. Not just the shooting and the offense, but the way they moved the ball, and the way they defended and stuck their noses in the scrimmage. It was a great overall team win,” Daigneault concluded.
The Thunder enter the Bucks matchup 2-1 on their four-game road trip.
