Ousmane Dieng Injury News & Updates
Dec 8, 2025
Hits four triples in win
Dieng chipped in 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Sunday's 131-101 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Dieng hit season highs in points and minutes played, and was likely in for extended run due to the blowout nature of the game. Dieng is not expected to be a regular rotation player for Oklahoma City, but if he is able to turn in efficient minutes like he did Sunday, he may be able to work his way up the depth chart.
Nov 24, 2025
Sees 15 minutes in win
Dieng registered eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Dieng has been used sparingly by the Thunder this season. Through 14 appearances, he has averaged 11.0 minutes per night with 3.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists on 37.2 percent shooting from the field.
Nov 3, 2025
Absent from injury report
Dieng (calf) isn't on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Dieng exited Sunday's matchup against New Orleans due to a bruised calf, but the issue won't force him to miss any additional action. He hasn't contributed much so far this season, averaging 1.3 points and 1.0 rebounds in 7.8 minutes (four games).
Nov 2, 2025
Won't return Sunday
Dieng sustained a calf contusion in Sunday's game against the Pelicans and will not return, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng checked out of the game with 5:59 remaining in the second quarter and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest after the first half. He'll finish with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in six minutes. With the 22-year-old forward joining Chet Holmgren (back), Luguentz Dort (illness) and Jalen Williams (wrist) on the sidelines, Aaron Wiggins and Brooks Barnhizer are candidates for a slight bump in minutes the rest of the way.
Oct 24, 2025
Plays 15 minutes in 2OT win
Dieng produced zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one rebound across 15 minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
After not seeing the court during Tuesday's double-overtime win over Houston, Dieng was part of the rotation Thursday. The defending champs are banged up to start the season, with key rotation players like Jalen Williams (wrist), Alex Caruso (concussion), Cason Wallace (knee) and Isaiah Joe (knee) all sidelined Thursday. Once the Thunder start getting healthy, Dieng will have a hard time seeing the court.
Oct 18, 2025
Game-high 17 points Friday
Dieng tallied 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 20 minutes during Friday's 94-91 preseason win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Dieng ended the preseason on a high note by leading both teams in scoring Friday. The 2022 first-rounder logged double-digit points in four of six exhibition contests, though he connected on just 33.8 percent of his field-goal attempts. Dieng averaged 10.9 minutes per game while appearing in 37 regular-season contests (one start) during the 2024-25 campaign, and he figures to see a similar role off the bench for the upcoming season.
Oct 14, 2025
Not starting Tuesday
Dieng is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game with the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng got a spot start his last time out with Oklahoma City resting their key guys, but Isaiah Hartenstein is back for this one, which will translate to fewer minutes for Dieng. When the Thunder are at full strength, Dieng won't be able to get the minutes he needs to make an impact in most leagues.
Oct 12, 2025
Productive in spot start
Dieng finished with 10 points (3-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder opted to rest a lot of its regular pieces, allowing Dieng to play a sizeable role. While this was certainly an intriguing performance, it is unlikely he makes too much noise this season, given the roster remains largely unchanged.
Oct 11, 2025
Starting vs. Indiana
Dieng is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Dieng is one of several non-regulars who will have a shot at playing a larger role in a preseason tune-up. However, he's not expected to be a factor in the regular-season rotation, so fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into this sporadic start.
Oct 9, 2025
Headed to bench
Dieng will come off the bench for Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Isaiah Hartenstein will be making his preseason debut Thursday evening, which will prompt Dieng's return to the second unit, where his minutes will see a sizeable dip. When the Thunder are at full strength, it's unlikely Dieng will get the minutes he needs to make an impact in fantasy hoops.
Oct 7, 2025
Excels again in preseason victory
Dieng produced 12 points (4-14 FG, 3-5 FT, 1-7 3Pt), seen rebounds, six assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Monday's 106-89 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Dieng's shot volume was high again during his second preseason game, although he had less success beyond the arc. The 2022 first-round pick will be buried on the depth chart once the season begins, but the Thunder are expected to keep Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren on the bench for most of the preseason schedule, giving Dieng more opportunities with the first unit.
Oct 6, 2025
Fills stat sheet in win
Dieng recorded 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal across 33 minutes of Sunday's 135-114 preseason win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
With the Thunder resting their usual starters, Dieng drew the starting nod and operated as a primary option on offense along with Aaron Wiggins. Dieng has been used sparingly by the Thunder for the past three season, as he holds career regular-season averages of 4.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 12.3 minutes. If Sunday was any indication, he looks hungry to earn more minutes.
Oct 5, 2025
Starting in preseason opener
Dieng will start in Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets, James Plowright of CLTure.org reports.
ANALYSIS
With the team resting its usual starters, Dieng will join the starting five in Oklahoma City's preseason opener. The 22-year-old forward appeared in 37 regular-season games (one start) last season, during which he averaged 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds across 10.9 minutes per game.
Jun 23, 2025
Logs one minute in season finale
Dieng ended with no counting stats in one minute during Sunday's 103-91 victory over Indiana in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Dieng checked in for just one minute during Oklahoma City's title-clinching win and didn't register a stat. The 22-year-old saw action in only nine of the team's 23 postseason games, averaging 3.6 minutes in those appearances. His role remained limited during the regular season as well, with the third-year forward averaging 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 10.9 minutes across 37 games, including one start.
Apr 12, 2025
Won't feature in season finale
Dieng (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS

Apr 10, 2025
Won't play vs. Utah
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Apr 9, 2025

Apr 7, 2025
Still out with calf strain
Dieng is out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers due to a strained left calf.
ANALYSIS
Tuesday will extend Dieng's absence streak to 12 games, and he holds no clear timetable for a return to action ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Suns. Considering his minutes were erratic when healthy, Dieng's absence won't have a major effect on the Thunder's rotation.
Apr 5, 2025
Not playing vs. Lakers
Dieng (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will miss an 11th consecutive game due to a nagging left calf strain. Barring a dramatic turnaround, Dieng is not likely to suit up for the Thunder before the end of the regular season.
Apr 3, 2025
Won't play vs. Houston
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will miss a 10th straight game for the Thunder on Friday due to a left calf strain. The next opportunity for the 21-year-old forward to get back on the floor for Oklahoma City will be Sunday against the Lakers.
Apr 1, 2025
Ruled out for Wednesday
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Mar 20, 2025
Remains out for Friday
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will miss his third consecutive contest due to a left calf strain. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Clippers. The 21-year-old forward has averaged only 2.8 minutes per game over his last four appearances, so his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.
Mar 18, 2025
Out with calf strain
Dieng (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
A calf strain will cost Dieng a second consecutive game Wednesday. His next chance to return arrives Friday against the Hornets. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams could see an uptick in playing time off the bench against Philadelphia.
Mar 16, 2025
Won't face Milwaukee on Sunday
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng sustained the left calf strain during the second quarter of Saturday's win over Detroit and did not return. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Sixers. Kenrich Williams and Dillon Jones could see a bump in minutes due to Jalen Williams (hip) and Dieng being sidelined.
Mar 15, 2025
Won't return Saturday
Dieng has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a left calf strain, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng suffered the injury early in the second quarter and limped off the floor to the locker room, where trainers diagnosed him with a left calf strain. With Dieng done for the night, Dillon Jones should see an extended role off the bench for the rest of Saturday's game.
Mar 15, 2025
Goes to locker room Saturday
Dieng (leg) went to the locker room early in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Pistons, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng checked out at the 10:15 mark of the second quarter and limped off the floor to the locker room. Dillon Jones should see an uptick in playing time off the bench for as long as Dieng is out of the game.
Mar 9, 2025
Won't start Sunday
Dieng will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng received the spot start during Friday's win over Portland due to all of the club's usual starting five being sidelined. The 21-year-old forward hasn't been a consistent member of the club's rotation, and he had averaged 9.3 minutes per game over his last three outings entering Friday's game.
Mar 8, 2025
Posts 16 points in spot start
Dieng amassed 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 107-89 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder placed the entire first unit on the bench for Friday's game, giving Dieng a shot with the first unit. Dieng logged the second start of his three-year pro career and posted his second-highest scoring total of the season. The talented French import is a role player who has minimal fantasy value.
Mar 7, 2025
Making spot start Friday
Dieng is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder are resting their entire regular first unit, so Dieng will get the chance to have an expanded role in this contest. This will be the second start of his career and first since his rookie season in 2022-23. He's averaging 3.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game in 32 bench outings in the current campaign.
Mar 2, 2025
Available to play Sunday
Dieng (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Dieng appears to be past a left wrist injury that caused him to be sidelined for Friday's game. He's appeared in 30 games for the Thunder this season and is averaging 3.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists across 11.1 minutes per game.
Mar 1, 2025
Questionable to play Sunday
Dieng (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Dieng didn't play Friday against the Hawks due to left wrist soreness, but his status for Sunday's matchup will be determined closer to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Regardless of whether he plays or not, Dieng's potential absence shouldn't affect the Thunder's rotation. He's averaging a mere 11.1 minutes per game across 30 bench appearances this season.
Feb 28, 2025
Ruled out against Atlanta
Dieng (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will miss a fourth straight game for the Hawks because of a wrist injury. The 21-year-old forward has played 30 games for the Thunder this season, averaging 3.7 points and 2.4 rebounds per game, shooting 40 percent from the field.
Feb 22, 2025
Receives garbage-time run Friday
Dieng (calf) recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist while playing the final 2:43 of Friday's 130-107 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was available after missing the Thunder's final five games before the All-Star break due to a right soleus strain, but the third-year forward didn't check into the game until the outcome was already decided. Despite being healthy again, Dieng doesn't look as though he'll be a member of the rotation in more competitive games.
Feb 21, 2025
Cleared to feature Friday
Dieng (calf) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Dieng is set to return following a five-game absence and will be available for this contest. However, the Thunder are healthy in the frontcourt, so Dieng isn't expected to see a heavy dose of playing time any time soon.
Feb 13, 2025
Another absence coming
Dieng (calf) is out for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Dieng's absence streak will extend to five games Thursday due to a right soleus strain. Dieng's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break against Utah on Feb. 21.
Feb 11, 2025
Remains out for Wednesday
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right soleus strain, and his last chance to suit up before the All-Star break will come Thursday against the Timberwolves. With the 21-year-old sidelined, Aaron Wiggins could see a slight bump in minutes.
Feb 9, 2025
Out again
Dieng (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will miss a third straight game due to a right calf strain. With Chet Holmgren (rest) back in the lineup, Dieng's absence doesn't figure to have much impact on the rotation.
Feb 8, 2025
Not playing Saturday
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will end up missing both games of the Thunder's back-to-back set due to a right calf strain, and his next opportunity to see the floor will be Monday against the Pelicans. With Chet Holmgren (rest) also out, Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams should be in line for an uptick in playing time Saturday.
Feb 6, 2025
Ruled out for Friday
Dieng (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng won't be available off Oklahoma City's bench Friday due to a calf injury, and he's up against a short turnaround if he wants to play on the second part of the Thunder's back-to-back Saturday in Memphis. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams could see a slight bump in minutes against Toronto, although Dieng's absence likely won't affect the rotation very much.
Feb 4, 2025
Hits for 21 off bench
Dieng chipped in 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 31 minutes off the bench during Monday's 125-96 victory over Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder gave their second unit a lot of extra run in the rout, and Dieng turned a season-high workload into season bests in points, boards and assists. The third-year big has played 56 minutes over the last two games with Jalen Williams (wrist) sidelined, but Oklahoma City won both contests by an average of 31.5 points. Barring further injuries to the Thunder frontcourt, Dieng appears to be limited to garbage-time opportunities.
Jan 25, 2025
Available against Portland
Dieng (illness) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Dieng missed Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to illness but will return to the floor for Oklahoma City in Portland for Sunday's game. He is currently playing a career-low 10.4 minutes off the bench, averaging 3.4 points and 2.3 rebounds per contest.
Jan 24, 2025
Misses game with illness
Dieng was ruled out ahead of Thursday's 121-115 loss to the Thunder due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Before sitting out Thursday, Dieng had appeared in each of Oklahoma City's previous four games, averaging 5.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.3 minutes per contest. Even if Dieng shakes off the illness in time for the Thunder's next contest Sunday in Portland, he might fall out of the rotation if Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is cleared to return from a five-game absence.
Jan 16, 2025
Returns to parent club
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Dieng continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. The 21-year-old forward is averaging 2.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.2 minutes across his 20 NBA appearances this season.

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.
Jan 4, 2025
Returns to Blue
The Thunder assigned Dieng to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Saturday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 3, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
Dieng joined the Blue for practice Friday, and 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.
Jan 2, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 30, 2024
Rejoins parent club
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Monday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng spent time with the Blue earlier Monday, presumably to get some practice reps in. He'll be on the outside of Thunder rotation for the foreseeable future.
Dec 23, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 18, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 24, 2024
Suffers finger fracture
Dieng will miss three to four weeks due to a right ring finger fracture, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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 Thunders' rotation as he's averaged just 9.6 minutes per game over his last 11 appearances.
Nov 21, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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 double-digits only once. In 11.6 minutes per game, he is putting up 3.5 points and 2.6 rebounds.
Oct 23, 2024
Sticking with Thunder
Dieng's fouth-year rookie option was exercised by Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 10, 2024
Sniffs triple-double in win
Dieng delivered 20 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks across 37 minutes in Thursday's 117-89 preseason win over the New Zealand Breakers.
ANALYSIS
Dieng has made over 30 appearances for the Thunder in each of his first two seasons in the NBA, and he continues to grow as a player after being one of the youngest players selected in the 2022 NBA Draft. Dieng isn't expected to play a prominent role for the Thunder once the regular season begins in late October, but he might get an extra look in the Thunder's final two preseason contests against the Nuggets and Hawks before the start of the regular season on Oct. 24.
Oct 9, 2024
Back to bench
Dieng won't start Wednesday's preseason game against the Rockets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
With Luguentz Dort and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander resting, Dieng started the preseason opener against the Spurs on Monday. He posted two points, six rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes.
Oct 7, 2024
Enters starting lineup
Dieng is in the Thunder's starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against the Spurs, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will be joined by Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Aaron Wiggins for Monday's preseason opener. Dieng spent most of the 2023-24 regular season in the G League, but he did appear in 33 games for the Thunder and averaged 4.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 11.1 minutes per game.
Jul 12, 2024
Shut down for Summer League
Oklahoma City Blue assistant coach Daniel Dixon announced Friday that Dieng will not play in any more Summer League games, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dixon doesn't appear to have suffered any injury but will shut down for the remainder of the Summer League. The 21-year-old forward will look to compete for increased minutes for the Thunder this season, after averaging 4.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 11.1 minutes across 33 NBA appearances in 2023-24.
Jul 11, 2024
Nears double-double
Dieng logged 17 points (7-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt), eight assists, four rebounds and four blocks across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 80-77 win over the Grizzlies in Summer League.
ANALYSIS
While Dieng led the Thunder in points and assists, he wasn't able to do so efficiently, turning the ball over six times and taking 20 shots. He'll exit Salt Lake City averaging 16.7 points on 34.6 percent shooting along with 5.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists across three games.
Apr 16, 2024
Recalled from G League
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS

The 20-year-old averaged 4.0 points and 1.5 rebounds in 33 appearances during his second NBA regular season. Dieng will rejoin the team for the postseason but is not expected to be part of the Thunder's rotation.
Apr 12, 2024
Recalled by NBA club
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Blue don't play Game 3 of the G League Finals against Maine until Monday, so Dieng will join the parent club for the final week of the NBA regular season. Dieng has made just 13 appearances for the Thunder since the start of the calendar year, averaging 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game.
Mar 21, 2024
Headed to G League
The Thunder assigned Dieng to the Oklahoma City Blue of the G League on Thursday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Mar 18, 2024
Recalled to NBA
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Monday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite this transaction, Dieng is only expected to provide emergency depth for the Thunder. The forward has only one appearance to his name in March and played 12 minutes.
Mar 8, 2024

The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will be available for Friday's game against the Heat, but he isn't expected to see any playing time. He's carved out a rotational role at times this year, but the Thunder's regular rotation is currently at full strength.
Feb 6, 2024
Available to play
Dieng (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Dieng has made three straight appearances for the Thunder, posting averages of 4.3 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.4 minutes.
Feb 5, 2024
Status in question for Tuesday
Dieng is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz due to a left hip strain, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng logged only nine minutes in Sunday's overtime victory, but it was long enough to pick up a hip injury. He'll likely need to prove his health in shootaround and pregame warmups to gain clearance for Tuesday's action.
Feb 5, 2024
Gets nine minutes in OT win
Dieng scored two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and added one rebound over nine minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 135-127 double-overtime win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
With Jalen Williams (ankle) having missed the Thunder's last three games, Dieng has been able to hold down a rotation spot in each of those contests. The second-year player has been held under 10 minutes in two of those games, however, and his meager production during his time on the court Sunday doesn't give him a strong case for seeing his role expand anytime soon. In fact, Dieng could be assigned to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue in short order, especially if Williams is cleared to play in the Thunder's next game Tuesday at Utah.
Jan 31, 2024
Records double-double in win
Dieng logged 16 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) 10 rebounds and eight assists in 30 minutes during Oklahoma City's 116-96 win over the Ignite on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was two assists shy from recording a triple-double for the Blue. The 2022 first-round pick is currently averaging 15.5 points per game, 6.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 12 games for the Blue.
Jan 31, 2024
Posts 20 points in win
Dieng logged 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes during Oklahoma City's 111-103 win over Stockton on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Dieng had a productive shooting game, hitting 60% of his field goal attempts. However, he did struggle with ball control, as he turned it over five times during the game.
Jan 30, 2024
Recalled Tuesday
Oklahoma City recalled Dieng from the G League Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Dieng is set to rejoin the roster in advance of Wednesday's game against Denver. His last NBA action came over a four-game span ending Jan 16, which yielded 3.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in 12.0 minutes per contest.
Jan 18, 2024
Won't play Thursday
Dieng (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was one of four OKC players to be deemed questionable due to an illness ahead of Thursday's contest, and in the end, he ended up being ruled out. However, his absence is not going to affect many fantasy decisions. Dieng's next chance to play will come against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Jan 18, 2024
Comes down with illness
Dieng is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Jazz due to a non-COVID illness.
ANALYSIS
Dieng is one of four OKC players to be deemed questionable due to an illness ahead of Thursday's contest. However, Dieng's potential absence shouldn't affect the Thunder's rotation.
Jan 12, 2024
Returns to NBA
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Dieng has bounced back and forth between the NBA and G League this season. The 19-year-old forward is averaging 4.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 11.8 minutes across his 19 appearances for the Thunder.
Dec 14, 2023
Struggles in G-League loss
Dieng logged 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Oklahoma City's 114-135 loss to Osceola on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Dieng struggled offensively as he connected on only four of his 12 shots, failing to make much of an impact. Additionally, he had issues with ball control, turning it over six times during the contest.
Dec 12, 2023
Nearly perfect off bench in win
Dieng finished Monday's 134-120 win over the Jazz with 18 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Dieng had seen limited minutes in his previous appearances with the Thunder, but he had his best performance of the season here, eclipsing both the 20-minute mark and the 15-point plateau for the first time in the campaign. Given he missed just one shot from the field, there's a chance the Thunder might have rode with him simply because he had a hot hand. This performance shouldn't be a sign of his potential upside going forward.
Dec 8, 2023
Returns to NBA
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the Oklahoma City Blue of the G League on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will be available for Friday's game versus the Warriors. The 20-year-old forward is averaging 3.0 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.2 minutes across his previous 12 NBA appearances this season.
Nov 30, 2023
Headed to G League
The Thunder assigned Dieng to the Oklahoma City Blue of the G League on Thursday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng is averaging 3.0 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.2 minutes across his first 12 NBA appearances this season. While Dieng will likely be recalled from the G League at some point, he should receive increased playing time with the Blue.
Nov 21, 2023
Called up Tuesday
Dieng was promoted to Oklahoma City's main roster Tuesday, Andre Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will join the Thunder's roster for Wednesday's game against Chicago. With Jalen Williams (hip) out, Dieng could see usage off the bench, although he hasn't logged NBA action since Nov. 12.
Nov 13, 2023
Assigned to G League
Dieng has been assigned to the G League, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Blue have a game against the Hustle on Monday, so Dieng will get some extra reps to stay sharp. Dieng has made 11 appearances with the Thunder this season, averaging 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds in 11.3 minutes.
Nov 8, 2023
Good to go Wednesday
Dieng (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Dieng has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a right wrist contusion. The second-year forward should continue to come off the bench in The Thunder's frontcourt.
Nov 7, 2023
Listed as questionable
Dieng (wrist) is officially questionable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Dieng is dealing with a right wrist contusion. He has appeared in all seven of Oklahoma City's contests thus far, averaging 4.6 points in 12.7 minutes per game
Nov 5, 2023
Rejoins parent club
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Sunday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was sent to the G League on Sunday but will be back with the Thunder later in the day. He's averaging 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per game with the Thunder to begin the regular season.
Oct 31, 2023
Joins the party
Dieng contributed 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and two assists over 18 minutes during Monday's 124-112 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was perfect from the field, aligning with Oklahoma City's blistering 53.0 percent shooting as a team. The 20-year-old is averaging 15.8 minutes per game through the Thunder's first four contests, solidifying himself as a piece of the team's core despite his youth.
Oct 21, 2023
Team option picked up
The Thunder exercised Dieng's team option for 2024-25 on Saturday, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng will stay in Oklahoma City through at least 2024-25. As a rookie, he averaged 4.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 14.6 minutes across 39 appearances. In 2022-23, Dieng is expected to be one of the Thunders' first options off the bench in the frontcourt.
Oct 17, 2023
Coming off bench
Dieng will come off the bench for Tuesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of the Thunder Wire reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder will have their usual starting lineup back on the floor Tuesday. With one more exhibition scheduled for Thursday, we could potentially see Dieng get extended run in that one if the Thunder dial back their key players.
Oct 15, 2023
Draws start Sunday
Dieng will start Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
With the Thunder's usual starters resting, Dieng will get a shot with the first unit. He'll be joined by Aaron Wiggins, Jaylin Williams, Cason Wallace and Vasilije Micic.
Jul 12, 2023
Dazzles Wednesday
Dieng posted 22 points (9-11 FG, 3-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and a steal in 33 minutes of Wednesday's 98-87 win over Indiana during Summer League.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out Tuesday's contest, Dieng turned in a stellar performance Wednesday, showcasing the ability to score off the dribble and as a spot-up shooter. He also took on a facilitating role, dishing out six assists while only turning the ball over once. Considering Dieng has shown signs of significant improvement and figures to be competing for a rotation spot, he could be a shut-down candidate.
Jul 11, 2023
Sitting out Tuesday
Dieng (undisclosed) is sitting out Tuesday's Summer League game against Houston, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder are likely resting Dieng to give some other players an opportunity to show what they can do. Dieng has averages of 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in four Summer League games.
Jul 6, 2023
Scores 22 points
Dieng produced 22 points (10-12 FG, 2-3 3PT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and nine turnovers in Thursday's 100-91 Summer League win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 first-round pick had quite the showing, racking up 15 points by halftime. The Thunder were missing three key players in Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams, so Tre Mann and Dieng had the greenest of lights and combined for 45 points. The frontcourt is crowded in Oklahoma City, but Dieng is doing his part to make a push for minutes this season.
Apr 12, 2023
Will come off the bench Wednesday
Dieng will return to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder will go with their usual starters for Wednesday's play-in game, so Dieng will likely return to being a negligible part of the rotation. He's not a great target in daily fantasy leagues.
Apr 10, 2023
Flirts with triple-double in finale
Dieng finished with 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 45 minutes during Sunday's 115-100 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Dieng should have a bright future with the Thunder, and he showed flashes of his potential throughout the 2022-23 campaign. Across the 15 games in which he played more than 15 minutes as a rookie, Dieng averaged 9.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 threes with a 51/36/63 shooting line.
Apr 9, 2023
Starting against Memphis
Dieng Butler is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder decided to rest their entire first unit, so Dieng will have the chance to start in the regular-season finale. This will be the first start of the campaign for the 19-year-old rookie.
Mar 13, 2023
Provides bench boost
Dieng recorded 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and eight rebounds over 28 minutes during Sunday's 102-90 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Dieng put together a decent shooting line and fell just two rebounds shy of his first double-double of the 2022-23 campaign. However, his eight rebounds mark a new season high for the forward on the year. Dieng has put up double figures in the scoring column in four of his last five games, and he's tacked on at least one steal in four of the five matchups.
Mar 9, 2023
Solid contribution off bench
Dieng finished with 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 132-101 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Dieng managed just two points over the first three quarters before going 4-of-8 from the field for 10 points in the final period. The Oklahoma City forward added seven boards in the contest, which tied Josh Giddey and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl for the team lead and he's now averaging five rebounds per game in March. Dieng has also scored in double figures in three straight games.
Mar 3, 2023
Recalled by Thunder
Dieng was recalled from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng spent the last week and a half in the G League but should be available for the Thunder's matchup against the Jazz on Friday. He hasn't been a consistent member of the parent club's rotation this year, but it's possible he sees some NBA playing time down the stretch, especially since Kenrich Williams (wrist) has been ruled out for the season.
Feb 17, 2023
Solid performance in loss
Dieng finished with 19 points (9-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes Wednesday during the G League's Oklahoma City Blue's 106-98 loss to the Memphis Hustle.
ANALYSIS
Despite the loss, Dieng showcased his full offensive arsenal against the Hustle, finishing with his second consecutive double-double. However, he struggled from the field, missing 11 shots including six from deep.
Feb 16, 2023
Solid performance in loss
Dieng finished with 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes Saturday during the G League's Oklahoma City Blue's 99-95 loss to the Motor City Cruise.
ANALYSIS
Even though Dieng led the team in points and rebounds, it wasn't enough to help the Blue secure the victory. Expect him to continue to play at a high level as one of the main forwards for the Blue.
Feb 15, 2023
Recalled to NBA
The Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was in the G League over the past week and played well, including a 24-point performance against Motor City on Friday. He's made 19 NBA appearances this season and is averaging 4.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 14.9 minutes. However, he's unlikely to see many, if any, minutes Wednesday against the Rockets, as the Thunder will have everyone on their roster available except for Chet Holmgren (foot) and Aleksej Pokusevski (lower leg) available.
Jan 22, 2023
Healthy, back with NBA team
The Thunder recalled Dieng (wrist) from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue ahead of Sunday's game in Denver, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
After having not played at the NBA or G League level since Dec. 14 due to a fractured right wrist, Dieng made his return to action for the Blue on Saturday. In the Blue's 121-117 loss to the Texas Legends, the rookie first-round pick looked sharp over 33 minutes, scoring 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal. Now set to rejoin the Thunder, Dieng could get a look in head coach Mark Daigneault's rotation while Oklahoma City is without three key frontcourt pieces in Chet Holmgren (foot), Aleksej Pokusevski (lower leg) and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (ankle).
Dec 15, 2022
Out at least six weeks
Dieng suffered a fracture in his right wrist during Wednesday's Oklahoma City Blue game and will be re-evaluated in six weeks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was recalled by the Thunder on Thursday after spending over a week in the G League. The rookie forward is averaging 15.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.2 blocks in 34.6 minutes across 11 games for the Blue this season. Dieng has also appeared in 14 contests for the Thunder.
Dec 15, 2022
Recalled by parent club
Dieng was recalled from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Thursday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng spent just over a week in the G League, but he'll rejoin the parent club ahead of Friday's game against the Timberwolves. Over his last five appearances with the Thunder, he's averaged 6.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game.
Dec 6, 2022
Sent to G League
The Thunder assigned Dieng to the team's G League Oklahoma City affiliate Tuesday, Andrew Schlecht reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng has recently seen a fair amount of action, logging double-digit minutes in each of the last five games and posting a season-high 15 points last time out. He will head to the G League to get in some extra work, but it seems likely he will rejoin the parent organization in short order.
Nov 30, 2022
First time in double figures
Dieng amassed 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Dieng scored in double digits for the first time in 12 games this season, and he also secured a season-high seven rebounds in the win. He's logged 20-plus minutes in two of his last three contests since returning from the G League, though it's unclear whether he'll be able to see this playing time consistently, as he'll continue to battle with Aaron Wiggins, Darius Bazley and Kenrich Williams for minutes going forward.
Nov 29, 2022
Tallies two blocks
Dieng notched six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 11 minutes during Monday's 105-101 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Dieng has received an opportunity off the bench in back-to-back contests, logging 21 and 11 minutes, respectively. He couldn't find the bottom of the net in Saturday's matchup in Houston, but he knocked down a few shots and locked in on the defensive end Monday, securing his first block and steal since Oct. 23 against Minnesota. Dieng remains buried on the depth chart and is unlikely to see consistent chances behind Luguentz Dort, Kenrich Williams, Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins.
Nov 26, 2022
Expected to play Saturday
Dieng, after being called up from the G League, is expected to be in the rotation Saturday against the Rockets, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng hasn't seen NBA minutes since Nov. 7, but he should be back in the mix Saturday. In his past seven NBA appearances, he's averaged 4.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 16.7 minutes.
Nov 25, 2022
Called up Friday
Dieng will be available for the Thunder for Friday's game against the Bulls, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng played with the G League Blue earlier Friday and will have the chance to play once again Friday night with the Thunder. Dieng will likely not be in the rotation with the Thunder at full health, however, we have seen the Oklahoma City rotation be incredibly variable this season.
Nov 8, 2022
Sent back to G League
Dieng was assigned to the G League on Tuesday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was recalled from the Blue last week but will rejoin the G League affiliate for the team's opener Wednesday afternoon. The rookie first-round pick has played 42 minutes between the last two games but converted just one of his seven attempts from the field Monday and none of his four attempts from deep, so he'll likely get some extended run with the G League squad to work on his game.
Oct 28, 2022
Assigned to Oklahoma City Blue
Dieng has been sent down to the Thunder's G League affiliate Oklahoma City Blue, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was expected to bounce back and forth between the two rosters as OKC utilizes their G League affiliate heavily in player development and as the Thunder begin to become healthier the timing of this move certainly makes sense. Dieng appeared in each of the Thunder's five regular season games, recording 1.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 12.6 minutes per game.
Oct 28, 2022
Scores two points in 13 minutes
Dieng supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across 13 minutes during Thursday's 118-110 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Dieng managed just 13 minutes in the victory, continuing what has been a mediocre start to his career. Truth be told, he was never seen as an immediate part of their rotation and so drafting him should have been out of the question. With that said, he has shown some nice flashes, and when the Thunder shift into lottery ball mode, he could slide into a larger role.
Oct 9, 2022
Available Sunday
Dieng (knee) is available for Sunday's exhibition game against Ra'anana Maccabi, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng sat out Thursday's matchup against the 36ers due to a knee injury, but he'll be able to return to the court Sunday. It's not yet clear whether the knee injury will be a concern for the remainder of the preseason, but it seems unlikely that the issue will impact his availability for the Thunder's regular-season opener in Minnesota on Oct. 19.
Oct 6, 2022
Will not play Thursday
Dieng (knee) was ruled out for Thursday's tilt with the 36ers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports
ANALYSIS
Dieng's presence on the injury report comes as a bit of a surprise considering he appeared in each of Oklahoma City's preseason games and recorded at least 20 minutes in both. The rookie will have until October 19 to rest up for the regular season opener in Minnesota.
Oct 3, 2022
Ready for preseason
Dieng (wrist) will be available for Monday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was shut down during Summer League due to a chip fracture in his right wrist, but the team confirmed Monday that he's good to go for the start of the preseason. He figures to battle for a bench role at the forward positions throughout the preseason.
Oct 3, 2022

Dieng (wrist) will be available for Monday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was shut down during Summer League due to a chip fracture in his right wrist, but the team confirmed Monday that he's good to go for the start of the preseason. He figures to battle for a bench role at the forward positions throughout the preseason.
Jul 15, 2022
Out for rest of Summer League
Dieng is out for the rest of Summer League due to a slight chip fracture in his right wrist but is expected to be ready for the beginning of training camp, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though the injury sounds relatively serious, the rookie will apparently be fine for training camp, which is great news. The forward was selected with the 11th overall pick in last month's draft. In his five Summer League appearances, he averaged 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 22.7 minutes.
