Dec 5, 2025
Won't play Friday
Joe (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Joe has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to left knee soreness. His absence should mean more minutes for Ajay Mitchell or Aaron Wiggins. Joe's next chance to play will come Sunday at Utah.
Dec 5, 2025
Tabbed questionable
Joe is questionable for Friday's game against Dallas due to knee soreness, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe is at risk of missing his first game since late October due to knee soreness. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 12.9 points in 23.4 minutes per game this season. If he can't go Friday, more opportunities could be available for Ajay Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins.
Dec 1, 2025
Hits three triples in win
Joe closed with 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and four rebounds over 15 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Joe was very efficient from the field in the 15 minutes he played, and he figures to continue being one of Oklahoma City's main contributors among the second unit. In 16 games this season, the sharpshooter is averaging 13.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.2 blocks and 2.9 threes on a 40.7 percent clip.
Nov 22, 2025
Turns in 16 points from bench
Joe closed with 16 points (5-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 144-112 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Joe made an early entrance, as the second unit came in and shared the court with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the first quarter while fighting back from a deficit. Joe played a crucial role in keeping the game afloat before things got out of hand in the third quarter, supplying 13 of his 16 points in the first half. Friday's win represented a nice bounce-back for Joe, who recorded only seven points in 20 minutes against the Kings in the Thunder's previous contest.
Nov 18, 2025
Lands four triples in win
Joe closed with 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-10 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 126-109 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Joe connected on four three-pointers for the second time in the past three games, continuing to provide the Thunder with a reliable scoring threat off the bench. While he has had a couple of dud performances, he typically chips in double-digit points on a nightly basis, making him a viable streaming option, even in standard leagues.
Nov 13, 2025
Erupts for 21 off bench
Joe notched 21 points (5-11 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals over 35 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 121-92 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old guard took advantage of some extra run in garbage time, playing a season high in minutes and scoring at least 20 points for the third time in eight games. Joe has drained multiple three-pointers in each one of those contests as a key member of the Thunder's second unit, averaging 16.3 points, 3.6 threes, 3.1 boards and 1.4 assists in 26.4 minutes a game while shooting 40.8 percent from beyond the arc.
Nov 12, 2025
Scores 18 off bench in win
Joe registered 18 points (4-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound and one assist over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Joe played the most minutes all season Tuesday, which may have been partly attributed to the fact that the Thunder were blowing out the Warriors in the second half. Regardless, Joe has solidified himself as a major contributor among the second unit, averaging 15.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.1 blocks and 3.6 threes made over 25.1 minutes so far.
Nov 5, 2025
Surges with 22 points
Joe contributed 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 126-107 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Luguentz Dort's (shoulder) premature exit certainly helped Joe's bottom line, as he produced 11 of his 22 points after Dort headed to the locker room early in the third quarter. joe was out of action with a knee injury to begin the season, but he's gradually increased his influence with three consecutive double-digit scoring totals.
Nov 3, 2025
Hits three triples in win
Joe closed with 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 137-106 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Sunday marked Joe's second game of the season, as he missed the first five due to a knee injury, but Joe has been able to produce immediately after returning, dropping at least 13 points, five rebounds, three threes and a steal in consecutive contests. His role may be reduced once Luguentz Dort (illness) and Jalen Williams (wrist) inevitably return, but Joe has done well in increased playing time when called upon.
Oct 31, 2025
Hot from distance in season debut
Joe (knee) tallied 20 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes Thursday in the Thunder's 127-108 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Cleared to make his season debut after missing the Thunder's first five games while recovering from a left knee contusion, Joe didn't exhibit any signs of rust. He was one of two Thunder bench players to put up 20 points in the runaway victory, with reserve guard Ajay Mitchell also achieving the feat. Though Joe should be a regular part of the Thunder's rotation now that he's healthy again, his playing time will likely trend down in more competitive games and when Oklahoma City gets Chet Holmgren (back) and Jalen Williams (wrist) back in action.
Oct 30, 2025
Ready for season debut
Joe (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Following a five-game stay on the sidelines to begin the season, Joe is ready to take the floor in his return from a knee injury. With Jalen Williams (wrist) still out of action, Joe should factor into the reserve mix in his season debut. Joe averaged 10.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.7 minutes per contest in 74 regular-season games in 2024-25, shooting 41.2 percent from downtown.
Oct 30, 2025
Goes through shootaround
Joe (knee) participated in Thursday's shootaround, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe, who is listed as questionable on the official injury report, has yet to make his 2025-26 season debut. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction and could potentially get the green light for some minutes against the Wizards. With Ajay Mitchell playing so well, it's fair to wonder just how involved Joe could be.
Oct 29, 2025
Iffy for Thursday
Joe (knee) is questionable to play in Thursday's game against the Wizards, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe has yet to play a game during the 2025-26campaign, but he's trending in the right direction to make his season debut. If he can't play, his next chance to return to the floor will be Sunday against the Pelicans.
Oct 28, 2025
Another absence coming
Joe is out for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a left knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Joe's season debut will have to wait at least one more contest. The sharpshooter's next chance to take the court arrives Thursday against the Wizards. Until Joe is ready to play, the Thunder will continue to lean more heavily on Luguentz Dort and Aaron Wiggins on the wing.
Oct 26, 2025
Out again Monday
Joe (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Joe will push off his season debut once again as he continues to battle a left knee injury. Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins figure to see large roles due to Alex Caruso (concussion) also being sidelined.
Oct 24, 2025
Won't play vs. Atlanta
Joe (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS

Oct 22, 2025
Won't play vs. Indiana
Joe (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will miss a second consecutive game to start the 2025-26 campaign, as he continues to recover from a knee injury. The team will likely pivot to Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Ajay Mitchell, especially with Alex Caruso (concussion) also on the mend.
Oct 20, 2025
Not ready for season opener
Joe (knee) is out for Tuesday's season opener against the Rockets, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe's knee injury, which he sustained during the preseason, will drag into the regular season. The sharpshooter's next chance to make his season debut is Thursday in Indiana. Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins should help pick up the slack Tuesday.
Oct 17, 2025
Remaining out Friday
Joe (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against Denver, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe sustained the knee injury in Saturday's loss to the Pacers and will miss his second straight contest. The 26-year-old swingman's next opportunity to play will come in Tuesday's regular-season opener against Houston.
Oct 14, 2025
Will not play Tuesday
Joe (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 11, 2025
Doesn't return Saturday
Joe suffered a knee injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Thunder and didn't return.
ANALYSIS
Joe logged seven minutes off the bench Saturday. He racked up four points, one rebound and one assist in his limited time on the floor. The next chance for him to get back on the floor will be Tuesday against the Bucks.

Oct 10, 2025
Pours in 19 off the bench
Joe compiled 19 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 FT, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds and a blocked shot over 20 minutes in Thursday's 122-116 preseason win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder will continue to spread out the usage up and down the bench, and Thursday was Joe's turn to make an impact. He took all eight of his shots from beyond the arc and converted on five of them, displaying the same prowess from downtown that he displayed last season. During the 2024-25 campaign, the sixth-year guard converted 41.2 of his three-point shot attempts.
Oct 9, 2025
Back in bench role
Joe will come off the bench for Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder will roll with the usual starting five Thursday, bumping Joe back to his typical bench role. He failed to do much with his opportunity to start in Monday's exhibition, tallying three points, three rebounds and three assists in 21 minutes.
Oct 5, 2025
Starting Sunday
Joe will start Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets, James Plowright of CLTure.org reports.
ANALYSIS
With most of the Thunder's starters resting Sunday and Jalen Williams (wrist) likely out until Opening Night, Joe will start the preseason opener alongside Aaron Wiggins, Nikola Topic, Jaylin Williams and Ousmane Dieng. Joe has shot at least 41 percent from deep in three straight seasons.
Apr 12, 2025
Career-best night from outside
Joe closed with a season-high 32 points (11-15 FG, 10-14 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 145-111 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The 10 three-pointers were a career high for Joe, who was making his second straight start as the Thunder let their usual starters heal up ahead of the playoffs. The 25-year-old wing could be in line for another start Sunday against New Orleans in OKC's regular-season finale, but he'll be a volatile DFS option if he does -- in his first start Wednesday, Joe scored just five points on 2-for-8 shooting, including 1-for-6 from beyond the arc.
Apr 9, 2025
Set to start Wednesday
Joe Clemente Almanza of USA Today Wednesday against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Joe will be in the first five for Oklahoma City for the 14th time this season. The 25-year-old has averaged 12.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a starter, shooting 42.9 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from deep.
Apr 5, 2025
Set to play Sunday
Joe (knee) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Lakers.

Apr 4, 2025
Out Friday
Joe (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Joe will sit a game for the first time since March 3 due to a right knee injury. The issue isn't expected to be serious, but the Thunder are being cautious since the former Arkansas star is a key piece off the bench for OKC. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Lakers.
Apr 4, 2025
Iffy against Houston
Joe is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Rockets due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Joe is in danger of missing his first game since March 3 due to a right knee injury. If Joe is ultimately downgraded to out, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Apr 1, 2025
Outstanding in win over Chicago
Joe finished with 31 points (10-17 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 145-117 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Shai GIlgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams tend to earn most of the credit for what the Thunder do on offense on a regular basis, but this time it was Joe who led OKC to a huge blowout win with an outstanding effort off the bench. This is not the first time Joe turns heads with his play as a member of the second unit, though, as he also scored 31 points in a win over the Knicks on Jan. 10. Joe has scored 15 or more points off the bench in 10 different games this season.
Mar 30, 2025
Drains five threes from second unit
Joe closed Saturday's 132-111 victory over the Pacers with 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt) and five rebounds over 27 minutes off the bench.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year wing has been locked in from long range to close out March. Joe has drained multiple three-pointers in eight of the last nine games (one start), averaging 12.9 points, 3.4 boards, 3.3 treys and 1.7 assists in 26.0 minutes during that span while shooting 46.2 percent from beyond the arc.
Mar 26, 2025
Scores 14 points in win
Joe chipped in 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-105 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Aaron Wiggins (Achilles), Cason Wallace (knee) and Jalen Williams (hip) were all sidelined Tuesday, allowing Joe to play an expanded role. Apart from this outing, Joe has been a tough sell in fantasy formats lately, posting averages of 11.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.7 three-pointers in 24.0 minutes over his last 11 games.
Mar 21, 2025
Not starting vs. Charlotte
Joe is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Hornets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder rested several regulars in the 133-100 win over the 76ers on Wednesday, but they'll play something closer to their regular first unit, meaning Joe will return to his regular bench role. The former Arkansas star has played off the bench most of the time this season and is averaging 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.5 steals per game when deployed in the second unit.
Mar 19, 2025
Set to start Wednesday
Joe will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will make his 13th start of the season for the Thunder as the team deals with injuries and star players sitting for rest purposes. In his previous 12 starts, the 25-year-old guard averaged 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 41.6 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from deep.
Mar 17, 2025
Productive off bench
Joe posted 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 121-105 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Luguentz Dort (hip) sat this game out and is day-to-day, presumably. Aaron Wiggins usually leads the second unit in usage, but he was dealing with an illness and saw just 19 minutes. Joe hasn't shot the ball well over his last seven games with a 38.3 percent mark from the field, but he's been productive with 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.4 three-pointers.
Mar 9, 2025
Slides to bench Sunday
Joe will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe got the spot start during Friday's win over Portland due to all of the club's usual starting five being sidelined. The 25-year-old has averaged 9.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 18.2 minutes per contest over his last five outings.
Mar 7, 2025
Starting Friday
Joe is in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will make his 12th start of the season Friday as six Thunder players -- including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) and Cason Wallace (knee) -- ruled out due to injury. Joe has averaged 8.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assist over 19.4 minutes per game since the beginning of February.
Mar 5, 2025
Upgraded to available
Joe (back) is available for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
After missing the past two games for the Thunder, Joe is expected to be back in the rotation Wednesday. Aaron Wiggins (thumb) is questionable to play, so Joe could see a healthy workload potentially -- Chet Holmgren (leg) is sitting out Wednesday as well.
Mar 4, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Joe (back) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Joe is in danger of missing a third straight game for the Thunder as he continues to nurse soreness in his back. Oklahoma City will already be shorthanded in the backcourt with Alex Caruso (ankle) ruled out, so if Joe doesn't play, the team will be in a tough spot and will likely have to look to Aaron Wiggins and Adam Flagler to pick up the slack.
Mar 3, 2025
Another absence coming
Joe (back) will not play Monday against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Joe will miss a second consecutive game for the Thunder and remains day-to-day. Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins will offer slightly more upside in the short term as a result.
Mar 1, 2025
Ruled out for Sunday
Joe (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Joe was one of two OKC players who departed Friday's win over the Hawks with injuries, with Chet Holmgren (ankle) being the other, and the back tightness will prevent him from playing Sunday. His next chance to play will come Monday against the Rockets in the second leg of a back-to-back set.
Feb 28, 2025
Leaves game due to back tightness
Joe will not return to Friday's game against Atlanta due to lower back tightness, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe was not on the floor for the start of the third quarter, and he has been ruled out for the rest of the contest due to a back injury. It's unclear whether the injury is severe enough to put him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Spurs. Joe will finish the night with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt) across 11 minutes in the first half. Aaron Wiggins should see a significant uptick in playing time off the bench in the second half due to Joe's absence.
Feb 11, 2025
Cleared to play Wednesday
Joe (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against Miami, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe did not play in Monday's 137-101 win over the Pelicans due to a right knee injury, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he's been given the green light to play Wednesday. Joe has averaged 11.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 23.6 minutes per game in February.
Feb 10, 2025
Won't play Monday
Joe is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Joe will miss just his fifth game of the season due to a right knee injury, which seems to be a new issue for him. With Cason Wallace (shoulder) also sidelined, Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins are in line for significant roles off the bench.
Feb 8, 2025
Stays sharp from downtown
Joe closed Friday's 121-109 win over the Raptors with 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes off the bench.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old wing remains locked in from long distance. Joe has drained multiple three-pointers in six straight games since returning from an illness, averaging 14.2 points, 3.5 threes, 2.5 boards and 1.5 assists in 24.5 minutes over that stretch while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor and a blistering 51.2 percent from beyond the arc.
Feb 4, 2025
Drains five threes in Monday's win
Joe registered 18 points (5-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes off the bench during Monday's 125-96 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Since missing a couple games in late January due to an illness, Joe has been a consistent long-distance threat for the Thunder on their second unit. Over the last four contests, the fifth-year wing is averaging 14.3 points, 3.8 threes, 2.5 boards and 1.8 assists in 25.3 minutes a contest while shooting 48.4 percent (15-for-31) from beyond the arc.
Jan 30, 2025
Scores 17 points off bench
Joe finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-109 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Joe was the only Thunder player to score in double figures off the bench Wednesday in the loss to the Warriors. He's now scored 17 points or more in five games this season while hitting five or more three-pointers four times during the 2024-25 campaign. The 25-year-old continues to be a solid contributor for Oklahoma City in the second unit, averaging 9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20.9 minutes per game.
Jan 26, 2025
Shines off bench in return
Joe logged 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Sunday's 118-108 win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Joe returned Sunday after missing Oklahoma City's last two games due to illness, providing a lift offensively by connecting on a team-high mark from deep and leading all Thunder bench players in scoring in a bench-leading minute total. Joe has recorded 15 or more points in six contests this season, doing so in two straight appearances. He has now connected on three or more threes in three of his last four outings.
Jan 25, 2025
Will return against Portland

ANALYSIS
After missing the Thunder's last two games due to illness, Joe will return to the floor for Sunday's game in Portland. The 25-year-old is having a decent year for Oklahoma City off the bench, averaging 9.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 42.3 percent from the floor and 38.8 percent from deep.
Jan 23, 2025
Won't play against Dallas
Joe (illness) is out for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Joe will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to an illness. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Portland.
Jan 22, 2025
Late scratch with illness
Joe (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against Utah, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After scoring 24 points in Sunday's win over Brooklyn, Joe is a late scratch from Oklahoma City's lineup Wednesday due to an illness. The sharpshooter's next chance to return is Thursday against Dallas. Aaron Wiggins and Alex Caruso appear to be the most likely candidates to replace Joe in the Thunder's starting lineup against Utah.
Jan 20, 2025
Huge night from downtown
Joe finished with 24 points (8-10 FG, 8-10 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 22 minutes during Sunday's 127-101 win over the Nets.

Jan 19, 2025
Back to starting role
Joe is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nets, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder will tweak their starting lineup for this game, and Joe will enter the first unit in a four-guard lineup alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Luguentz Dort and Jaylin Williams. Joe will make his first start since Dec. 23 and is averaging 9.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game when deployed in the first unit.
Jan 11, 2025
Scores season-high 31 points Friday
Joe finished with 31 points (11-16 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 126-101 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Joe was alternating between the starting lineup and the bench in the first two months of the regular season, and while he hasn't started a game since Dec. 23, he made a strong case to return to the first unit with his Friday showing. This effort marked a season-high scoring output for Joe -- and by a wide margin, as his previous season-high mark was 19 points in a win over the Jazz on Dec. 3. It also represented Joe's first double-digit scoring game since Dec. 29.
Jan 6, 2025
Plays 17 minutes
Joe closed Sunday's 105-92 victory over the Celtics with six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Joe has now seen 18 or fewer minutes in four straight contests, averaging 7.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in that span. He's difficult to trust in fantasy right now, and that's with Alex Caruso (hip) and Ajay Mitchell (toe) on the shelf.
Dec 26, 2024
Shifts to bench Thursday
Joe will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Pacers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Cason Wallace will supplant Joe in the starting five Thursday. The 25-year-old has struggled as of late, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 5.8 points and 2.2 rebounds while shooting 29.0 percent from the field across 17.6 minutes per contest.
Dec 23, 2024
Starting Monday
Joe is part of the first unit for Monday's game against the Wizards, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe and Cason Wallace continue to split starts at the shooting guard position and Monday is Joe's turn to join the starters. In nine starts this season, Joe has averaged 10.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals across 25.0 minutes.

Joe will replace Cason Wallace in the starting five Tuesday. Joe is averaging 10.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.0 minutes across his last nine starting appearances.
Dec 7, 2024
Returning to second unit
Joe is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Clemente Almanza reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe delivered 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-92 victory over Toronto in a starting role, but he'll return to the bench with Cason Wallace moving back to the first unit. Joe is averaging 8.9 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game when coming off the bench this season.
Dec 6, 2024
Productive in starting role
Joe supplied 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-92 victory over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Joe and Cason Wallace have been alternating the starting role at the shooting guard position quite often, and Joe could be in line to secure the role for, at least, a few games based on this performance. The former Arkansas standout has scored at least 15 points in three of his last five appearances, including his last two starts, and he seems to be trending in the right direction following a slow start to the campaign.
Dec 5, 2024
Starting Thursday
Joe will enter the starting lineup in Thursday's game versus the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old will supplant Cason Wallace in the starting five on Thursday. In eight starts this season, Joe has averaged 9.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals across 25.5 minutes per contest.
Dec 4, 2024
Makes most of minutes in blowout
Joe racked up 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 133-106 win over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Joe and Cason Wallace have been alternating starts in the backcourt alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but Joe outplayed his teammate despite coming off the bench in this one. The former Arkansas guard has scored in double digits in just two of his last five outings, but his performance in this contest might lead him to a few more starts in the near future. Despite the fact he's capable of putting up solid numbers on any given game, the inconsistency of his role limits his fantasy upside considerably.
Dec 2, 2024
Plays just 13 minutes
Joe accumulated zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists in 13 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
For just the second time this campaign, Joe was held scoreless Sunday. He's been slumping pretty hard, failing to reach double-digit points in four of his last five outings. His workloads had been pretty healthy prior to Sunday, so that's something to monitor going forward.
Nov 29, 2024
Moves to bench Friday
Joe is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Lakers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder have been alternating who starts at shooting guard all season long, and this game against the Lakers won't be the exception. Joe is averaging 9.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game while shooting 45.8 percent from deep when deployed off the bench.
Nov 28, 2024
Solid shooting in starting role
Joe logged 17 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 105-101 victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Joe's calf seems to have made a complete recovery, snd he mad his way back into the first unit to post his best scoring result of the season. He shot 50 percent from the floor and drilled four three-pointers to pad his totals. He platoons often with Cason Wallace, but Joe's solid game may put him on the positive end of the timeshare.
Nov 27, 2024
Back in starting lineup
Joe is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Joe has been alternating in the starting lineup alongside Cason Wallace, and the former Arkansas standout is set to make his eighth start of the campaign -- and first since Nov. 17. Joe is averaging 8.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game in his previous seven starts.
Nov 25, 2024
Good to go Monday
Joe (calf) is listed as available for Monday's matchup against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Joe will return to game action after a two-game absence due to a left calf contusion. The 25-year-old swingman started in four consecutive outings before his absence streak, during which he averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks across 25.3 minutes per game.
Nov 25, 2024
Iffy for Monday
Joe (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Joe has missed the last two games due to a left calf contusion that now has his status for Monday's contest in question. If he is unable to go, Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins should be in line for extended minutes.
Nov 23, 2024
Limited in practice
Joe (calf) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice, Clemente Almanza of USA Today
ANALYSIS
Joe has missed two straight games due to a bruised left calf but was able to participate in portions of Saturday's practice. Dillon Jones has seen some additional minutes during Joe's absence and would likely continue to benefit if Joe were to sit out Monday's game at Sacramento.
Nov 20, 2024
Out again Wednesday
Joe (calf) will not play Wednesday against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Joe will miss his second game in a row after suffering his calf injury Sunday against Dallas. The Thunder could get Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) back Wednesday, making them less reliant on their small-ball lineups.
Nov 18, 2024
Won't play Tuesday
Joe has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to a left calf contusion.
ANALYSIS
Joe suffered a calf contusion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Mavericks and will be sidelined for the first half of Oklahoma City's upcoming back-to-back set. He can be considered doubtful for Wednesday's home game versus Portland, barring an update. Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace are candidates for more minutes in Joe's absence, but the Thunder will also get Alex Caruso (hip) back for Tuesday's contest.
Nov 17, 2024
Leaves early Sunday
Joe left Sunday's game during the fourth quarter and did not return, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe exited Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with what head coach Mark Daigneault referred to as a "contusion" and did not return. Daigneault also said he just decided not to put Joe back in the game, so it doesn't seem to be of much concern going forward. Joe concluded Sunday's contest with six points (2-6 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds, one steal and a block in 25 minutes of action.
Nov 16, 2024
Solid performance in win
Joe finished Friday's 99-83 win over Phoenix with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Joe started his third consecutive game and bounced back from a scoreless night against the Pelicans. The team has tinkered with Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins at the off-guard slot with no clear frontrunner, so fantasy viability for the trio is limited in the short term.
Nov 11, 2024
Starting Monday
Joe is in the Thunder's starting lineup for Monday's game against the Clippers, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder have experimented its rotation by having Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace alternate in the starting lineup. However, with Chet Holmgren sidelined for 8-to-10 weeks due to a right hip fracture, Oklahoma City will roll with Wiggins and Joe in the starting five Monday while Wallace comes off the bench. Joe has scored in double digits in each of his last six games, and during that span he is averaging 12.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 23.8 minutes per game.
Nov 6, 2024
Returns to starting lineup
Joe is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe has been in and out of the starting lineup so far this season, and he'll have another shot with the first unit Wednesday, sending Cason Wallace to the bench. Joe is averaging 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in his previous two starts this season.
Nov 2, 2024
Retreats to bench Saturday
Joe will come off the bench against the Clippers on Saturday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe got the start against the Trail Blazers on Friday and finished with 12 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes. Aaron Wiggins will get the start Saturday while Joe and Cason Wallace come off the bench.
Nov 2, 2024
Modest numbers in Friday's start
Joe ended with 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 137-114 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Making his second start in five games, Joe scored in double digits for the first time. Shooting guard has been a revolving door for the Thunder so far, but the matchup-based approach seems to be working given the team's 5-0 start. Regardless of whether he's part of the starting five or the second unit, Joe's minutes and production will mainly be limited to his contributions from beyond the arc -- he's gone 10-for-26 (38.5 percent) on three-point attempts.
Nov 1, 2024
Moves into starting lineup
Joe will start Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder continue to shift around their starting shooting guard, and this time Joe will make his first start since Opening Night, sending Cason Wallace to the bench. In four appearances this season, Joe has averaged 6.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 16.8 minutes per game.
Oct 26, 2024
Moves to bench Saturday
Joe is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder have decided to shake things up in their lineup for their second game of the season and will insert Cason Wallace in the backcourt instead of Joe. Joe played 20 minutes as a starter in the season opener against Denver on Thursday, tallying seven points, two rebounds and an assist.
Oct 24, 2024
Starting vs. Denver
Joe is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Surprisingly, Joe will get the nod at shooting guard over Alex Caruso for the season opener. Joe averaged 9.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game across three regular-season starts in the 2023-24 campaign.
Jul 1, 2024
Stays in OKC on four-year deal
Joe agreed Monday with the Thunder on a four-year, $48 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder had previously declined Joe's $2.16 million team option for 2024-25 on Saturday, but that was likely a gesture of goodwill as the organization looked to keep the sharpshooting wing in the fold on a longer-term pact. Though he projects to remain a bench player for the Thunder moving forward, Joe has proven to be one of the league's top long-range snipers even while starting in just 11 of his 151 regular-season appearances with Oklahoma City across the past two campaigns. Over that stretch, he's converted 41.2 percent of his 747 three-point attempts.
Jun 29, 2024
Thunder decline team option
The Thunder declined Joe's $2.1 million team option Saturday, but the team is expected to work with the 24-year-old on a long-term deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe proved to be a solid contributor in his second season with the Thunder, during which he averaged 8.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 18.5 minutes. The 24-year-old also got the starting nod in the team's final two playoff games, and he is expected to return on a long-term deal that will be agreed upon when free agency opens in July. Joe has produced his two best years with OKC, and has expanded his range to the point where he averaged a career-high 41.6 percent from deep in 2023-24.
May 15, 2024
Making first playoff start
Joe is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against Dallas, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe replaces Josh Giddey in the first unit, a relatively unsurprising move considering Joe has played more minutes than Giddey in three straight games. Despite his starting status, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Joe to see normal starters minutes. Instead, he'll likely settle in at around 18-22 minutes.
Apr 7, 2024
Rejoins reserves
Joe will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Joe made his first start of the season Friday against the Pacers, delivering 10 points, four boards and three assists over 32 minutes. However, he'll be replaced by Cason Wallace in the first five for Sunday's contests. Still, expect Joe to see sizeable run off the bench.
Apr 7, 2024
Will play Sunday
Joe (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Joe has been upgraded from probable to available and will likely remain in the starting lineup as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps), Jalen Williams (ankle) and Gordon Hayward (leg) are all out. Over his last six games (one start), Joe has averaged 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 25.2 minutes per game.
Apr 6, 2024
Expected to play Sunday
Joe is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Hornets due to a right ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Despite dealing with an ankle injury, Joe is expected to suit up in Sunday's matchup with Charlotte. The 24-year-old guard started in the Thunder's recent outing in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's (quadriceps) absence.
Apr 6, 2024
Scores 10 points in spot start
Joe supplied 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 126-112 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Joe made his first start of the season Friday in place of Carson Wallace. Joe extended his streak of double-digit scoring to three games and has reached that mark in five of his last six appearances. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) out for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Joe could be in the starting lineup for a second straight game.
Apr 5, 2024
Gets starting nod
Joe is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Pacers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will replace Cason Wallace in the starting five Friday with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) out. Joe will make his first start of the season and has only played more than 30 once so far in 2023-24.
Mar 28, 2024
Scores 17 points off bench
Joe posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Joe grabbed headlines Wednesday following a posterizing dunk on Jeff Green, but he did more than that, and he was actually one of the Thunder's most productive players in this loss despite coming off the bench. Joe has scored in double digits in just three of his 13 appearances this month, however, so he doesn't carry a lot of upside heading into the final weeks of the regular season.
Mar 27, 2024
Scores six points with two treys
Joe contributed six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Joe is capable of racking up the triples when given meaningful minutes, and he could have an opportunity to do that Wednesday with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) set to be watching Wednesday's game from the sidelines. If you need a cheap source of treys, Joe could be your guy.
Feb 28, 2024
Held to two points
Joe contributed two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 112-95 win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Joe couldn't get much going, and it didn't help his case that Josh Giddey had one of his best games in February. Joe has been fairly quiet lately, averaging 6.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes over his last four outings.
Feb 11, 2024
Hits two triples in return
Joe (sternum) recorded six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 16 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 146-111 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
After missing four games with a bruised sternum, Joe was back in action Saturday for the front end of a back-to-back set and settled into his typical role as a perimeter threat on the second unit. He doesn't appear on the Thunder's injury report for Sunday's game against the Kings, so Joe shouldn't face any restrictions for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Though he'll stick in the Thunder rotation through the All-Star break, Joe could be in jeopardy of losing his spot at some point in the second half of the season once trade-deadline pickup Gordon Hayward (calf) is available to play.
Feb 9, 2024
Set to return Saturday
Joe (chest) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Joe will return to action Saturday after missing the Thunder's last four contests with a bruised sternum. Joe is averaging 5.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 14.6 minutes across his last five appearances.
Feb 5, 2024
Remains out for Tuesday
Joe (chest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Utah, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe is set to miss his fourth straight contest due to a bruised sternum. His next opportunity to return will arrive Saturday in Dallas.
Feb 4, 2024
Out Sunday, but improving
Joe (sternum) will remain out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, though he was able to participate in the Thunder's morning shootaround, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Like Joe, Jalen Williams (ankle) will miss a third consecutive game Sunday, but both were involved in shootaround and could have realistic chances of returning to action Tuesday in Utah. Joe's continued absence Sunday should continue to open up a spot on the second unit for two-way player Lindy Waters, who gives the Thunder another wing who's capable of stretching the floor and keeping opposing defenses honest.
Jan 31, 2024
Likely out a few games
Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said Wednesday that he expects Joe (chest) to miss a few games, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe has already been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with Denver due to a bruised sternum he suffered against Minnesota. Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Keyontae Johnson are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence.
Jan 30, 2024
Unavailable Wednesday
Joe will not play Wednesday versus Denver due to a bruised sternum, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe was caught up in a collision and hit the deck hard during Monday's loss to Minnesota. He appears to have dodged a serious injury to his collarbone or rib region, but he will nonetheless be sidelined Wednesday. Jalen Williams (ankle) is out and Luguentz Dort (ankle) is questionable in what could be a shorthanded Thunder rotation.
Jan 29, 2024
Exits with injury
Joe was forced to leave Monday's game against the Timberwolves due to an undisclosed injury, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The nature of Joe's injury is unclear at this time, so he'll be considered day-to-day until further notice. The team should know more about his status in the coming days.
Jan 16, 2024
Ice cold in loss Monday
Joe registered four points (2-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals across 20 minutes during Monday's 112-105 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Joe missed all six of his three-point attempts, finishing with just four points in 20 minutes. As a player who relies solely on his perimeter shot for value, this was a disappointing night, to say the least. He remains a viable streaming option in standard formats but as we saw here, he does come with an element of risk.
Jan 9, 2024
Pops for 16 off bench
Joe racked up 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 21 minutes off the bench during Monday's 136-128 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
It's Joe's best scoring effort since he dropped 20 on the Bulls back on Nov. 22. The fourth-year wing's role on the second unit is steady, but it doesn't offer a lot of fantasy upside -- Joe has drained at least one three-pointer in 14 straight games but has scored in double digits only four times over that stretch, averaging 8.3 points, 2.1 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.0 assists in 18.1 minutes a night.
Dec 1, 2023
Scores double digits in win
Joe put up 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three blocks and a steal over 20 minutes in Thursday's 133-110 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Joe has been on somewhat of a surge recently, averaging 14.3 points on 55.0 percent shooting from the field and an astounding 53.2 percent from three (on 6.7 attempts) in his last seven games. It appears a consistent role has been carved out for the sharpshooter, so expect him to bring the scoring punch off the bench for the Thunder on a nightly basis.
Nov 17, 2023
Lights out from long range
Joe racked up 23 points (7-7 FG, 7-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 128-109 win over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
The perfect performance from beyond the arc led to new season highs in points and three-pointers for Joe, and the seven made threes tied his career high. While the 24-year-old has only scored in double digits four times in 12 games to begin the season, he's drained multiple threes in eight of the last nine games, averaging 3.0 a night while shooting a blistering 52.9 percent from long range.
Nov 7, 2023
Sinks four triples in win
Joe supplied 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 20 minutes during Monday's 126-117 victory over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Joe has scored in double figures off the bench in back-to-back games and made at least two three-pointers in four straight contests. With the Thunder healthy, Joe will be limited to around 20 minutes per game, capping his fantasy upside, but he's certainly capable of catching fire from deep on a nightly basis.
Oct 26, 2023
Strong effort in win
Joe supplied 14 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 124-104 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Joe was part of a balanced Oklahoma City attack, which featured six players with double-digit scoring. Joe led the Thunder's bench in scoring as well as minutes played. Oklahoma City posted a bottom-10 clip from beyond the arc last season at 33.2 percent, so 24-year-old's shooting prowess merits a healthy role.
Oct 17, 2023
Efficient scoring in victory
Joe (rest) recorded 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and two rebounds in Tuesday's 124-101 preseason win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Joe returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing the previous contest due to rest. Joe is expected to be one of the Thunders' first options off the bench this season.
Oct 15, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Joe won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets for rest purposes, Nick Gallo of Bally Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe, along with Oklahoma City's usual starters, will all take a seat Sunday. Their next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in an exhibition versus Milwaukee.
Oct 10, 2023
Earns 10 free throws in win
Joe posted 14 points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT) and one rebound across 16 minutes in Oklahoma City's 122-121 preseason win over the Spurs on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Joe's foul-drawing prowess isn't a reliable element of his game, but its gained viability. Joe averaged 2.1 free-throw attempts per game after the All-Star break last season, up from 0.8 throughout 2.5 seasons prior. The 24-year-old connected on 40.9 percent of 5.4 threes per game in 2022-23 and could be on track for continued overall growth.
Apr 7, 2023
Struggles with shot
Joe finished with 11 points (3-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Thursday's 114-98 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Joe struggled to find his rhythm from the field, but he still scored in double figures off the bench for a second straight game thanks to a trio of three-pointers. He also notched multiple steals for the 13th time this season. Over his past 12 appearances (10 starts), Joe has averaged 12.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 25.3 minutes per game.
Apr 5, 2023
Scores 14 points off bench
Joe logged 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 136-125 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Joe bounced back from back-to-back poor shooting outings and secured his ninth double-digit scoring performance since March 1 (19 games). During that stretch, the third-year wing has averaged 10.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 26.1 minutes with 38/32/81 shooting splits.
Apr 1, 2023
Ice cold from field
Joe recorded seven points (2-10 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 121-117 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Joe rejoined the reserves Friday upon the return of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and turned in a second straight poor shooting performance. The sharpshooter has now missed all of his last 15 three-point attempts and has shot just 27.2 percent from the field since his 33-point outing Tuesday. Joe should be expected to snap out of the slump considering he has nailed triples at a 40.9 percent clip this season.
Mar 31, 2023
Back to bench with SGA in
Joe will come off the bench Friday against the Pacers, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) available, Joe will head back to a reserve role. In his last seven games off the bench, Joe has averaged 9.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 23.9 minutes.
Mar 29, 2023
Pops for career-high 33 points
Joe had 33 points (11-18 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined, Joe drew the start at shooting guard and exploded for a career-high 33 points. Across nine starts this season, Joe has averaged 16.3 points with 47/43/77 shooting splits. His lack of production in categories outside of scoring has limited his overall value, but the third-year wing's excellent three-point shooting has been good enough to place him on every fantasy manager's radar. However, his production as a reserve has been too sporadic to trust on a regular basis, so when Gilgeous-Alexander is cleared to return, Joe's fantasy value will take a major hit.
Mar 28, 2023
Gets starting nod
Joe is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Hornets, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will replace Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Joe is averaging 14.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.0 minutes across his previous eight starts this season.
Mar 26, 2023
Produces rare 20-point night
Joe racked up 20 points (5-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 118-112 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Joe proved yet again that he's capable of doing damage from beyond the arc and snapped out of an 0-for-7 stretch from deep over his last two matchups. Sunday's showing marks his best scoring performance since Feb. 26, and it was also reassuring to see him shoulder a heavier workload after getting stuck around the 20-minute mark in his previous two games.
Mar 22, 2023
Logs 12 points from bench
Joe closed with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 101-100 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Joe logged 27 minutes for his second straight game, and although we typically see Joe fill in for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the two guards actually shared the floor for a few times. The pairing resulted in a point flurry from Joe to end the second quarter.
Mar 17, 2023
Drains three triples in loss
Joe recorded 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block across 24 minutes during Thursday's 128-111 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Joe dropped in a team-high three triples, Continuing to serve as an elite streaming option. Although his recent production has been a little underwhelming, he appears to have carved out a 20-minute role for himself. He brings very little else to the table but for anyone desperate for three-pointers, look not further than Joe.
Mar 14, 2023
Back to bench
Joe will come off the bench Tuesday against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
This was the expectation with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal strain) back in the lineup. Joe has been on a cold streak for the Thunder, as he's been held to single digit points in five straight games.
Mar 12, 2023
Starting Sunday
Joe is starting Sunday against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old will join the starting lineup for the second time in the last three games since Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) is unavailable. Joe has started in five of his last nine outings and has averaged 13.6 points and 2.3 rebounds in 27.2 minutes per game across that span.
Mar 8, 2023
Gets starting nod
Joe is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus Phoenix, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will replace Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) in the starting lineup Wednesday. Joe is averaging 17.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.7 minutes across his previous six starts this season, giving him solid fantasy value in Gilgeous-Alexander's absence.
Mar 5, 2023
Back to the bench
Joe will head back to the bench for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is back in action, so Joe's value figures to take a sizeable hit. The first unit for the Thunder tonight will be comprised of Josh Giddey, SGA, Luguentz Dort, Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams.
Mar 3, 2023
Starting Friday
Joe will start at shooting guard in Friday's matchup with the Jazz, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder will opt to go small in Friday's game, which means they will start Joe in favor of Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. He has averaged 17.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 26.6 minutes in five starts this season.
Mar 1, 2023
Back to the bench
Joe will return to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder are rolling with a big lineup tonight featuring Josh Giddey, Lu Dort, Jalen Williams, Jaylin Williams and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, but Joe should still see solid minutes off the bench with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (protocols) unavailable. He'll look to bounce back after scoring just eight points over 22 minutes his last time out.
Feb 27, 2023
Another big scoring night
Joe posted 24 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-11 FT) and three assists over 28 minutes during Sunday's 124-115 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
With the second straight absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle/abdomen), Joe got the starting nod again and led the team in scoring. The young guard was a big part of the offense for the shorthanded Thunder, even getting to the line 11 times. Other than his scoring, he fails to add anything defensively, but given the currently unknown timetable for Gilgeous-Alexander's return, Joe is showing he can be a good stream option for anyone solely looking to add some scoring numbers.
Feb 25, 2023
Dazzles in spot start
Joe finished Friday's 124-115 loss to the Suns with a team-high 28 points (11-17 FG, 6-12 3Pt) to go with seven rebounds in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Entering the starting five as a replacement for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Joe left the facilitating duties to Josh Giddey (five assists) and instead turned his focus toward filling Gilgeous-Alexander's role as a high-volume scorer. While the stellar performance in the scoring column is sure to attract some attention, Joe still profiles little more than a streaming option for three-pointers, given his lack of production in other areas along with the fact that Gilgeous-Alexander isn't expected to be dealing with a long-term injury. Assuming Gilgeous-Alexander is back in action Sunday against the Kings, Joe will move to the bench and see a major drop in his minutes and usage (20.1 percent) from Friday.
Feb 24, 2023
Gets starting nod
Joe is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Suns, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will replace Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) in the starting lineup Friday. The 23-year-old guard is averaging 13.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.5 minutes across his previous two starts this season.
Feb 8, 2023
Drills five treys in win
Joe compiled 15 points (5-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes in Tuesday's 133-130 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
With a pair of five three-pointer outings under his belt over the past three games and four games with at least five three-pointers in his last 10 contests, Joe is carving out a reputation as a reliable streaming option for treys. The third-year wing typically doesn't provide much in other areas, however, meaning he shouldn't be viewed as a player worthy of a permanent roster spot on a 12- or 14-team category league.
Feb 5, 2023
Catches fire from three
Joe supplied 18 points (6-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists, one block and two steals over 19 minutes during Saturday's 153-121 victory over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Joe was locked in from beyond the arc and scored 15 of his 18 points from downtown. He's shown that he can make a sizeable impact from deep when given the chance, as he drilled seven triples on two separate occasions in January. However, he's yet to do so on a consistent basis. Joe has been held to single figures in four of his last six appearances.
Feb 4, 2023
Coming off bench
Joe will come off the bench Saturday against the Rockets, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe got a spot start during Wednesday's loss to the Rockets but posted just three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two assists and one swipe in 21 minutes. Aaron Wiggins will start in his place Saturday.
Feb 2, 2023
Held to three points in start
Joe closed Wednesday's 112-106 loss to the Rockets with three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two assists and one steal over 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Coach Mark Daigneault continues to experiment with different lineups, but Joe couldn't make the most of his opportunity in this one. He came into Wednesday's game on fire from beyond the arc, hitting a total of 24 three-pointers in his previous seven games.
Feb 1, 2023
Gets starting nod
Joe is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will replace Aaron Wiggins in the starting lineup Wednesday. The 23-year-old guard will make his second start of the season and his first since Dec. 17.
Jan 28, 2023
Only six points in victory
Joe posted six points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one rebound in 21 minutes during Friday's 112-100 victory over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Joe led all bench players with 21 minutes Friday but came up short when it comes to tangible production. This effort aside, Joe has been arguably the best three-point streaming option in recent times, averaging 3.8 triples per game over the past two weeks. It appears as though the coaching staff is more than happy to give him at least 20 minutes most nights. Friday's effort aside, he should remain on the radar for anyone in need of a short-term boost in perimeter scoring.
Jan 21, 2023
Pops for 21 off bench
Joe ended with 21 points (7-13 FG, 7-12 3Pt) and six rebounds over 29 minutes during Friday's 118-113 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old guard's bench role still makes his production erratic, but Joe has demonstrated an impressive ceiling when he's gotten a chance. He's scored more than 20 points three times in nine January contests, averaging 12.6 points, 3.4 boards, 3.0 threes and 1.3 assists in 21.2 minutes a night during that stretch and putting himself on the radar in deeper season-long formats as well as being a cap-saving DFS option with some upside.
Jan 19, 2023
Prolific scorer off bench
Joe logged 23 points (7-12 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 126-106 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Joe saw plenty of looks from beyond the arc during Wednesday's matchup, and he matched his highest scoring total of the season while tying for the team lead on the scoreboard against the Pacers. He's scored in double figures in just three of his eight appearances in January and has averaged 11.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game during that time.
Jan 14, 2023
Off injury report
Joe (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Joe was a late scratch for Friday's game due to gastrointestinal symptoms, but he will be back in action Sunday. His return will mean fewer minutes are available for Aaron Wiggins and Tre Mann.
Jan 13, 2023
Late scratch Friday
Joe will not play in Friday's matchup with the Bulls due to GI symptoms, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe was previously not listed on the injury report and will be an unexpected absentee for Friday's contest. He will vacate his usual 15-20 minute role which will likely be dispersed amongst Tre Mann and Aaron Wiggins. Joe's next chance to play will come Sunday against Brooklyn.
Jan 4, 2023
Drops 21 points in thumping
Joe accumulated 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 150-117 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Joe scored at least 20 points for just the second time this season, capitalizing on a Celtics team that didn't appear ready to play. He is carving out a decent role for himself in Oklahoma City, providing a nice scoring punch off the bench. While he is certainly not a must-add player, managers should view him as a possible streamer on nights such as this.
Dec 20, 2022
Scores in double figures off bench
Joe closed Monday's 123-121 win over the Trail Blazers with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander back in the lineup, Joe reverted to a bench role following a spot start during Saturday's win Memphis. Over his past eight appearances (one start), Joe has averaged 10.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 18.5 minutes per game.
Dec 19, 2022
Back to bench
Joe isn't starting Monday against Portland, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will revert back to a bench role after making a spot start Saturday against Memphis. He's put up 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in his last four matchups off the bench.
Dec 18, 2022
Goes for season-high 23 points
Joe chipped in 23 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 115-109 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Joe scored 15 of his season-high 23 points in the second half on 5-of-8 shooting from the field, including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc as Oklahoma City closed out the Grizzlies. It was Joe's second time this season reaching the 20-point mark, though he didn't contribute much else stat-wise with just three rebounds and a steal, all of which came in the first half. The Thunder guard played a season-high 26 minutes in the contest but that also came with a season-high four personal fouls.
Dec 17, 2022
Starting Saturday
Joe will join the first unit for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Brandon Rabhar reports
ANALYSIS
Joe will receive the starting nod with Josh Giddey (illness) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) out for the contest. He will certainly have ample opportunity and should be heavily considered as a streaming option given his scoring ability.
Dec 6, 2022
Solid production in limited action
Joe chipped in nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 10 minutes during Monday's 121-114 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Joe nailed a trio of three pointers and added multiple assists and steals in just 10 minutes of action. The third-year guard hasn't needed much playing time to make an impact this season, as he's posting 5.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 9.3 minutes across 15 appearances.
Nov 23, 2022
Fires in seven triples Wednesday
Joe notched 21 points (7-11 FG, 7-10 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 131-126 overtime loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Joe had himself a career night in the loss, going 7-of-10 from the perimeter en route to a career-best 21 points. Known as an elite shooter, Joe finally got an opportunity to shine, albeit in a losing effort. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, his recent track record would indicate that this could be an outlier, as opposed to a regular occurrence. Managers should take a cautious approach for now.
Nov 21, 2022
Active against New York
Joe (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe was initially slated to miss a third consecutive game Monday, but he was upgraded to questionable a few hours prior to tipoff before being deemed available. Over his four appearances prior to his absence, he averaged 3.5 points and 2.0 rebounds in 8.5 minutes per game.
Nov 21, 2022
Listed as questionable
Joe (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Joe had been ruled out for Monday's matchup but was upgraded to questionable a few hours before the start of the game. He's missed the last two games, but it's possible that he'll be able to return to action against New York.
Nov 20, 2022
Still out Monday
Joe (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Joe will be forced to miss a third consecutive game due to a sore right knee. His next chance to return will be Wednesday against the Nuggets.
Nov 18, 2022
Ruled out Friday
Joe has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis due to right knee soreness, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe didn't appear in Wednesday's win over Washington, and he's apparently dealing with a knee issue that will prevent him from suiting up Friday. His next chance to take the court will be Monday against the Knicks.
Nov 13, 2022
Plays season-high 17 minutes Sunday
Joe logged eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 17 minutes during Sunday's 145-135 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
With both Luguentz Dort and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in foul trouble in the first half, Oklahoma City leaned on Joe and he scored 10 points in nine minutes of action. With 17 minutes on the floor, it was just the second time all season that he's played more than nine minutes in a game. While he hasn't received ample playing time, he's made the most of his opportunities and has sunk 54.2 percent of his shots and 44.4 percent of his tries from beyond the arc.
Oct 15, 2022
Inks multi-year deal with OKC
The Thunder signed Joe to a multi-year deal Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athleticreports.
ANALYSIS
Joe was waived by the 76ers on Thursday. The 23-year-old guard will be a young asset for a rebuilding Thunder team. Joe averaged 3.6 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 11.1 minutes over 55 games for Philadelphia last season.
Oct 13, 2022
Cut loose by Philly
The 76ers waived Joe on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Philadelphia parted ways with a pair of recent second-round draft picks as the team pares down its roster in advance of the Oct. 18 season opener against the Celtics, as Joe and big man Charles Bassey were both given their walking papers. A 34.9 percent three-point shooter on 2.5 attempts per game over his 96 career contests with the 76ers, the 6-foot-4 Joe could have some appeal as a waiver pickup to the league's other 29 teams.
Jul 13, 2022
Remains out Wednesday
Joe (shoulder) won't play in Wednesday's Summer League game against Miami, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe will remain sidelined for Wednesday's contest due to the right shoulder injury he sustained against the Nets on Sunday. He could return for Friday's game against the Nuggets, but the Sixers could ultimately opt to shut him down for the rest of Summer League.
Jul 10, 2022
Won't return Sunday
Joe has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Summer League game against the Nets due to right shoulder soreness, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe scored three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in eight minutes before suffering the injury. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Sixers shut down the third-year guard for the rest of Summer League.
May 12, 2022
Listed available Thursday
Joe (ankle) is available for Thursday's Game 6 against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Joe hasn't played in the past three games and likely won't see time unless there's a blowout or someone in the backcourt suffers an injury.
May 11, 2022
Questionable once again
Joe (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Joe missed Game 4 but was cleared to play in Game 5 on Tuesday. However, he picked up a DNP-CD, so it's unclear if he may still be dealing with some soreness in his ankle. Either way, he's a complete non-factor when it comes to fantasy, so his status is mostly irrelevant.
May 10, 2022
Will be available
Joe (ankle) will be available for Tuesday's Game 5 against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Joe was questionable coming into the day but he'll return from the sprained ankle that sidelined him for Game 4. With that said, Joe is not a part of the regular rotation, so he'll likely only see garbage-time minutes if the game gets out of hand.
May 9, 2022
Questionable for Game 5
Joe (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Joe continues to deal with a sprained right ankle which kept him out of Sunday's Game 4 victory. The 2020 second-round pick has only seen garbage-time minutes during the playoffs, so his status ultimatel won't have much of an impact on Doc Rivers' rotation.
May 8, 2022
Ruled out for Game 4
Joe (ankle) is out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe didn't appear in Game 3 on Friday, but the 76ers didn't indicate that his absence was due to an injury. However, he'll be unable to suit up Sunday due to a right ankle sprain. His absence shouldn't impact Philadelphia's rotation.
May 7, 2022
Questionable Sunday
Joe is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Heat due to a sprained right ankle.
ANALYSIS
Joe didn't play in Game 3, so it's not exactly clear when he suffered the injury. He's played only a combined six minutes in the current series, so his potential absence won't affect the rotation.
Mar 8, 2022
Remains on outskirts
Joe provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one rebound over 11 minutes during Monday's 121-106 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old Arkansas product remains mostly buried on Philadelphia's bench. Even with Furkan Korkmaz receiving a DNP-CD after multiple underwhelming outings, the bench landscape didn't shift in Joe's favor. The guard is experiencing a dip in three-point shooting in year two. Despite his sniping proficiency in college, Joe has a career 34.8 percent average from deep during his time in the association.
Feb 3, 2022
Leads bench in minutes
Joe posted 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Joe was productive again Wednesday, having now scored double-digit points in back-to-back games. He had only hit that threshold three prior times this season. The 22-year-old Arkansas product is connecting on 34.9 percent of his shots, as well as just 32.3 percent from deep. His lack of efficiency from deep is especially concerning, as Joe had knocked down 37.8 percent of his attempts on 9.1 threes per game during his collegiate career.
Jan 23, 2022
Coming off bench Sunday
Joe isn't starting Sunday's game against the Spurs, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Seth Curry (ankle) remains sidelined Sunday, Joe will come off the bench after he made his first start of the season in Friday's loss to the Clippers. Charlie Brown will join the starting lineup Sunday.
Jan 22, 2022
Plays 15 minutes in start
Joe closed Friday's 102-101 loss to the Clippers with three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one steal in 15 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With Seth Curry (ankle) sidelined, Joe made his first start of the season. However, he failed to impress in limited time and was on the court less than Charlie Brown (22 minutes), who came off the bench. Regardless, neither Brown nor Joe garners fantasy consideration.
Jan 21, 2022
Starting for injured Curry
Joe will start Friday's contest against the Clippers, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Seth Curry (ankle) sidelined, Joe makes his first start of the season. In the six games that he's seen at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 6.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
Jan 9, 2022
Clear of injury report
Joe (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Joe has missed the past two games with back soreness but will be available for Monday's contest. He's averaged 11.7 minutes in 23 appearances this season but could see more run for the immediate future with Tyrese Maxey (COVID-19 protocols) and Shake Milton (back) sitting out.
Jan 7, 2022
Won't play Friday
Joe (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe exited Wednesday's win over the Magic with an injury, and he'll be forced to miss at least one game. Danny Green and Matisse Thybulle could see increased run Friday.
Jan 6, 2022
Questionable against Spurs
Joe (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Joe was initially believed to be dealing with right leg soreness after leaving Wednesday's game against the Magic, but he's now been diagnosed with pain in the right side of his back. If he's unavailable Friday, Aaron Henry and Myles Powell could see additional run.
Jan 5, 2022
Won't return Wednesday
Joe has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Magic due to right leg soreness, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers described Joe's injury as "back of right leg soreness", so while the true extent of the injury remains unclear, Joe will watch the rest of Wednesday's game from the bench. Depending on his health, his next opportunity to return will be Friday against the Spurs.
Jan 3, 2022
Strong off bench
Joe notched 18 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 133-113 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Joe rained in five threes -- surpassing his previous season high of two. Monday marked his second time scoring in double-figures this season. The 22-year-old sniper from Arkansas is shooting just 28.3 percent on 2.6 attempts per game across 22 appearances. Joe is likely to be reburied on the 76ers bench.
Nov 13, 2021
Available Saturday
Joe (COVID-19 protocols) is available at Indiana on Saturday, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
ANALYSIS
Joe sat out five games because of the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Despite his return, fantasy managers should not expect much. Joe averaged 7.9 minutes of playing time from Oct. 20 to Nov. 3 and is the Sixers' tertiary shooting guard.
Nov 13, 2021
Questionable Saturday
Joe (COVID-19 protocols) has cleared protocols and is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Due to health and safety protocols, Joe has missed the past five games but could return for the shorthanded Sixers. In his seven appearances, he's averaged 2.0 points in 7.7 minutes.
Nov 5, 2021
Likely to miss several games
Joe's entry into the NBA's health and safety protocols Thursday was reportedly the result of a positive test, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports. "He's doing good," Rivers said of Joe. "It's only his first day [in the protocol] so I wouldn't know yet, but he's doing OK."
ANALYSIS
Unless subsequent retesting proves that his original test was a false positive, Joe won't be eligible to rejoin the 76ers for at least 10 days, according to the terms of the protocol. If that's the case, Joe will remain out for at least five more games, with his earliest possible return date being the 76ers' Nov. 16 game in Utah. With no more than 13 minutes played in any of his seven appearances this season, Joe isn't a major piece in the Philadelphia rotation, but his absence is a tough development for the 76ers nonetheless with two other players (Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle) currently in the COVID-19 protocol and three others (Danny Green, Furkan Korkmaz and Grant Riller) tending to injuries. Ben Simmons (personal) also remains out indefinitely.
Nov 4, 2021
Enters health and safety protocols
Joe has entered COVID-19 protocols, prompting the 76ers to test the entire team ahead of Thursday's game against the Pistons, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe's role on the Sixers is relatively small, so his absence won't make big waves. The bigger story is that it appears the team is dealing with significant COVID-19 concerns across the whole roster.
Oct 11, 2021
Nabs preseason start
Joe is in the starting lineup for Monday's exhibition against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers are banged up in the backcourt, giving Joe an opportunity to show what he can do in the preseason. It remains unclear at this time whether he'll have much of a role in Philly's rotation when the regular season begins.
Aug 2, 2021
Will play in Summer League
Joe will play with the 76ers in Summer League, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Joe was the 49th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. He appeared in 41 games for the Sixers and averaged a modest 3.7 points in 9.3 minutes. He should benefit from Summer League action.
May 17, 2021
Drops 17 points in finale
Joe produced 17 points (4-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Sunday's 128-117 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Joe put up his second-best total of the season in the win. The 2020 second-round pick moved up in the rotation due to a rest night for the first unit, and he took advantage with a solid all-around game. The Arkansas product has a lot of potential, but his role in Philly is limited due to the wealth of talent on the depth chart.
Apr 22, 2021
Non-factor Thursday
Joe recorded one point (1-3 FT) during Thursday's loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
This was Joe's first point scored since posting six points against the Grizzlies on April 4. The rookie has totaled just seven points since March 16.
Apr 6, 2021
Doesn't play Tuesday
Joe (coach's decision) didn't play during Tuesday's win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
After logging 10 minutes and posting six points a game prior versus the Grizzlies, Joe remained on the sidelines for a second time over the past three games. The rookie has made just six appearances since March 14 and has totaled 11 points and three rebounds during that stretch.
Feb 28, 2021
Moves to G League
The 76ers assigned Joe to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Sunday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Though head coach Doc Rivers suggested a few days earlier that Joe might get a look on the second unit through the All-Star break, Furkan Korkmaz ultimately worked his way back into the 76ers' good graces to maintain his spot in the rotation. With Korkmaz, Seth Curry, Danny Green and Matisse Thybulle now seemingly locked in as Rivers' preferred rotational wings, the 76ers don't have any minutes available for Joe, who didn't see the court in Saturday's 112-109 loss to the Cavaliers in a coach's decision. The rookie second-round pick will get some meaningful run at the G League bubble in Orlando before likely rejoining the NBA team after the All-Star break.
Feb 23, 2021
Getting trial in rotation
Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers said Sunday after the 76ers' 110-103 loss to the Raptors that Joe would be evaluated for a spot in the team's rotation, Marc Narducci of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "It's just a look. I mean everyone earns their minutes," Rivers sad. "It is always a fair competition. Right now, we're going with Isaiah."
ANALYSIS
The second-round pick played 12 minutes off the bench in the loss, supplying three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds. Joe ended up taking the rotation spot of the struggling Furkan Korkmaz, who played only two minutes and missed both of his shots, dropping his field-goal percentage to 37 percent for the season. Like Korkmaz, Joe offers most of his value as an outside shooter, but the rookie likely won't see enough playing time to warrant attention in most fantasy leagues.
Jan 29, 2021
Scores four off bench
Joe finished with four points (2-2 FG) and one board in four minutes of a 118-94 win against the Timberwolves on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Joe saw just four minutes in the contest despite his team's healthy lead in the contest. The second-round pick is still working his way into the rotation, and appears to only have an inconsistent role thus far. The 76ers face the Pacers on Sunday.

Provides perimeter shooting off bench
Joe posted 13 points (4-10 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 37 minutes off the bench Tuesday in the 76ers' 137-134 overtime victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers remained shorthanded for the third game in a row, though the team at least had some reinforcement in the form of Ben Simmons (knee), who returned from a two-game absence. The extra period and the missing players still allowed Joe to see plenty of playing time, with the rookie notably getting the nod over Dakota Mathias (11 minutes) as the No. 3 guard in the rotation. The 76ers are expected to return three players (Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle and Shake Milton) from the NBA's health and safety protocol Thursday against Miami, so Joe's run of extended minutes will likely be coming to an end soon.

18 points off bench
Joe totaled 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes off the bench the the 112-94 loss Monday to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
After a disappointing performance in his first start, Joe was relegated back to the bench where he did not disappoint. While the 76ers have been shorthanded due to COVID-19 and injury issues, Joe has made the most of his extended playing time. Over his last two games, Joe is averaging 15.5 points over 36.5 minutes per game. During the team's first nine games, Joe played sparingly in only five games and scored a total of two points.

Disappoints in big opportunity
Joe recorded 13 points (4-18 FG, 3-11 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 45 minutes in the 115-103 loss to Denver on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Joe was handed a chance of a lifetime and extremely underperformed in the loss Saturday. The rookie guard was handed as many minutes as possible after a plethora of injuries and COVID protocols swung through the locker-room prior to tip-off. However, Joe went a subpar 24 percent from the floor and did not add much else to his underwhelming performance. Joe might be waiting awhile before he gets another chance like this and will not be a viable option.

ANALYSIS
In the midst of injuries and COVID-19-related absences, Saturday's game will be played, and the Sixers are expected to use seven players. Joe has seen 27 total NBA minutes, racking up two points, five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block.

Strikes deal with Sixers
Joe agreed Friday with the 76ers on a three-year, $4.2 million contract, Derek Bodner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers used a portion of their mid-level exception to sign Joe, allowing the team to tack on a third year to his deal. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Arkansas was one of the most prolific perimeter shooters in college basketball over the past two seasons, as he knocked down 3.5 three-pointers per game and converted them at a 37.8 percent clip. Along with veterans Danny Green and Seth Curry and younger options like Matisse Thybulle, Furkan Korkmaz, Tyrese Maxey and Terrance Ferguson, Joe should get the chance to compete for playing time in the 76ers' unsettled wing rotation as a rookie.
