Ousmane Dieng Latest News
Returns to parent club Saturday
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Saturday. Dieng joined the Blue for Saturday's 131-110 loss to the Valley Suns, during which he contributed 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists and four rebounds across 31 minutes. The 21-year-old has seen little playing time at the NBA level of late, and in his last four outings, he has averaged only 4.3 minutes per contest.
Returns to Blue
The Thunder assigned Dieng to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Saturday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Dieng continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. Dieng should be available for Saturday's G League contest against the Texas Legends.
Recalled to parent club Friday
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Dieng joined the Blue for practice and was recalled the same day. He'll be available for the Thunder's matchup against the Knicks on Friday. The 21-year-old has made only four appearances at the NBA level since fracturing his right ring finger in November, during which he has averaged 0.5 points and 1.3 rebounds across 4.3 minutes per game.
Recalled to NBA
Dieng posted 11 points (2-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-120 loss to the Valley Suns. After the game, the Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Dieng struggled in his second G League appearance of the season but will now return to the NBA. Dieng is averaging 2.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 10.6 minutes across 19 outings for the Thunder.
Fails to score in three minutes
Dieng chipped in zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound in three minutes during Monday's 123-105 victory over the Wizards. Dieng took to the court for the first time in three weeks, having been sidelined due to a finger injury. Although the Thunder are undoubtedly glad to have him back in the lineup, it is unlikely he will see significant minutes given the depth in Oklahoma City.
Off injury report
Dieng (finger) isn't listed on the Thunder's injury report for Thursday's game against the Magic, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Dieng hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Nov. 20 and has spent the last three weeks recovering from a right ring finger fracture. However, he's been given the green light to suit up Thursday, though it could be in a limited capacity given the lengthy layoff.
Suffers finger fracture
Dieng will miss 3-4 weeks due to a right ring-finger fracture, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports. Dieng sustained a small fracture in his right ring finger while playing for the Oklahoma City Blue on Nov. 22 and is expected to miss at least three weeks. Dieng's absence doesn't figure to have much of an impact on the Thunder's rotation, as he's averaged just 9.6 minutes per game over his last 11 appearances.
Fails to score in win
Dieng supplied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound and two steals over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 win over the Trail Blazers. Dieng didn't trouble the scorers, failing to score for the third straight game. Although he has cracked the rotation in every game this season, Dieng has scored in double digits only once. In 11.6 minutes per game, he is putting up 3.5 points and 2.6 rebounds.
Sticking with Thunder
Dieng's fouth-year rookie option was exercised by Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Dieng is now under contract with the Thunder through the 2025-26 season. The 6-foot-9 combo-forward is likely too raw to relevantly contribute to Oklahoma City's rotation in the upcoming campaign, but the 21-year-old remains a toolsy and versatile developmental case to monitor.
