Tre Mann Injury News & Updates

Mann (knee) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets.

Mann continues to be ruled out a day in advance of games and will miss his fourth straight contest. Liam McNeeley, KJ Simpson and Antonio Reeves could be more involved Sunday with the Hornets missing so many key players due to injuries.

Mann (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Toronto.

Friday will mark the third consecutive game on the inactive list for Mann, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Mann's minutes will be divvied up amongst Liam McNeeley, KJ Simpson and Antonio Reeves.

Mann (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against Toronto.

Mann was previously considered questionable due to a left ankle injury, but it now looks like he's headed toward a third consecutive absence. If he misses, Sion James and Antonio Reeves could see an uptick in minutes.

Mann (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Toronto.

Mann is trying to dodge a three-game absence with right ankle soreness. If the guard ends up sitting out, the Hornets could be forced to give Sion James a heavy workload in the backcourt amid Collin Sexton's absence with a left quad strain.

Mann (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Mann will be out of action due to a left ankle impingement. His next chance to play is Friday in Toronto. With Mann sidelined Wednesday, a few extra minutes in the backcourt should open up for Collin Sexton and Sion James to absorb.

Mann (ankle) won't play Monday against the Nets.

Mann will hit the sidelines for the first game of a four-game week for the Hornets, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks. KJ Simpson will have a chance to get into the rotation with Mann unavailable.

Mann is questionable to play Monday against the Nets due to a left ankle impingement.

Mann has played through the ankle issue the past two games, but it seems it's been bothering him, as he's gone just 2-for-7 from the floor for a total of five points. If Mann is held out of Monday's game, that could allow KJ Simpson to get into the rotation.

Mann recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes during Saturday's 118-111 overtime victory over Toronto.

Mann played through a recent ankle concern, although perhaps his time would have been better spent sitting on the bench. While he has flashed some limited upside when afforded significant playing time, Mann typically provides very little during his time on the floor. In 18 appearances, he is averaging 9.2 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per game.

Mann (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

As expected, Mann will shed his probable tag due to a left ankle issue and suit up in the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set. The 24-year-old has appeared in each of the Hornets' last three games, averaging 7.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.3 minutes per contest during that span.

Mann (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Mann missed two games earlier in the month due to a left ankle injury, but he's on track to play through the issue for a fourth straight game. Mann is averaging 9.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 21.2 minutes per game this season.

Mann (ankle) recorded three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 17 minutes in Sunday's 113-110 loss to the Hawks.

Mann made his return to action after missing the Hornets' previous two contests due to a sore left ankle. Though the Hornets had plenty of playing time up for grabs at point guard and on the wing while LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder) being rested for the second leg of a back-to-back set, Mann actually finished below his season-long average in minutes (21.9 per game) and submitted an ugly 1:3 assist-to-turnover ratio in addition to shooting poorly from the field during his time on the court. With both Ball and Miller expected back for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Mann is unlikely to see his role grow even though he's healthy again.

Mann (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Mann was previously listed as probable with a left ankle injury and will suit up Sunday as expected after missing the past two games. The guard can provide scoring pop off the bench, though his efficiency has lagged, shooting 36.5 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from deep across 14 appearances this season.

Mann (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Mann has missed two straight games due to a left ankle injury, but he's expected to return to action Sunday. With LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller resting, Mann should see plenty of usage off the bench against Atlanta.

Mann (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Mann will miss a second consecutive game due to a left ankle injury, and his next opportunity will be Sunday against the Hawks. Collin Sexton and Sion James are slated to see a slight uptick in minutes in Mann's absence, though their respective playing time could take an even greater hit due to the return of Brandon Miller (shoulder) from a 13-game absence.

Mann (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Mann missed Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to left ankle soreness, and the same injury could sideline him for Saturday, with the game against the Clippers being the first leg of a back-to- back set. Mann's absence wouldn't have a massive impact in fantasy, as Mann is averaging 10.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in 14 outings (one start) this season.

Mann (ankle) will not suit up for Wednesday's game in Indiana.

Mann was being listed as doubtful, so it's not surprising to see him get ruled out. Most of his minutes will be divvied up amongst Collin Sexton and Sion James, and perhaps, KJ Simpson will be able to get in the rotation. For now, Mann should be considered unlikely to play Saturday against the Clippers, with that game coming as the first in a back-to-back set.

Mann (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Indiana.

Mann is unlikely to play Wednesday after leaving Monday's game against Toronto due to left ankle soreness. Sion James and Collin Sexton should see ample playing time in the Charlotte backcourt, and KJ Simpson is an option to pick up a few extra minutes off the bench.

Mann won't return to Monday's game against Toronto due to left ankle soreness. He finished with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and three steals in 12 minutes prior to exiting.

Mann can be considered day-to-day until the team provides another update on his availability going forward. Collin Sexton could see more chances down the stretch Monday in Mann's absence.

Mann is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Lakers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.comreports.

Mann moved into the starting lineup Friday against the Heat and delivered a strong 20-point outing with a well-rounded stat line, but he'll return to the bench with Collin Sexton (neck) back in action. Mann has scored in double figures in four straight games, playing at least 22 minutes in each.

Mann accumulated 20 points (7-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 126-108 loss to the Heat.

With both LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Collin Sexton (neck) missing in action, Mann got the start and all the shots he wanted, dropping in 12 points in his first seven minutes of play. Mann is capable of racking up the stats when given the minutes, so if Ball and Sexton are out again Monday, Mann would make for a quality streaming option.

Mann is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with Miami.

Both LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Collin Sexton (neck) will be unavailable for Friday's game, so Mann should get all the run he can handle. Joining him in the first unit will be Sion James, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges and Ryan Kalkbrenner.

Mann provided 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 loss to the Pelicans.

Mann scored at least 13 points for the third straight game, continuing to benefit as those around him fall. After a slow start to the season, Mann has stepped things up, averaging 14.0 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes per game over the past four contests. While the offensive output has been encouraging, he offers very little else, making him nothing more than a streaming consideration on low-volume nights.

Mann finished with 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 loss to the Timberwolves.

Mann gave the Hornets a lift off the bench, recording a season-high 16 points. Charlotte has yet to settle on a consistent starting shooting guard alongside LaMelo Ball, perhaps keeping Mann in the conversation as a candidate for that spot. That said, Mann may need find a groove before he's seriously considered for the role -- he's averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 0.8 steals per contest while shooting just 31.6 percent from the field over his first six games.

Mann (jaw) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Mann has been dealing with a jaw contusion, which was presumably suffered in Sunday's game against the Wizards. However, it won't keep him off the floor.

Mann is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat due to a jaw contusion.

Mann presumably sustained the jaw contusion in Sunday's win over the Wizards, during which he exited to the locker room following a collision with an opposing player. However, he managed to return, posting zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 12 minutes. If the 24-year-old guard joins Brandon Miller (shoulder) on the sideline, Sion James, Kon Knueppel and Collin Sexton are candidates for increased playing time, while Pat Connaughton could enter the rotation.

Mann (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's game against the Wizards at the start of the second quarter, per the broadcast.

Mann exited to the locker room with 4:21 remaining in the opening quarter following a collision with an opposing player. However, he returned shortly thereafter and will likely be good to go for the remainder of the game.

Mann (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Wizards, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Mann collided with an opposing player and headed to the locker room with the training staff. If he's unable to return, Sion James will likely see an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.

Mann finished Wednesday's 136-117 win over Brooklyn with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 21 minutes.

Mann was one of eight Hornets to score in double figures during their blowout win over the Nets, and he also finished third on the team in assists behind LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. Charlotte head coach Charles Lee mentioned during training camp that Mann and Collin Sexton will push Kon Knueppel for playing time all season, but the rookie led the trio with 25 minutes and was an Opening Night starter.

Mann (hip) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against Brooklyn.

Hip soreness became an issue for Mann during the preseason, though he's all set for action against the Nets. The combo guard dealt with a back disc herniation last year, but he was effective when healthy with averages of 14.1 points, 3.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers per contest in 13 games in 2024-25.

Mann (hip) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks.

Mann will miss a second straight game due to hip soreness. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets. Mann is competing with Kon Knueppel and Collin Sexton for a starting spot on the wings.

Mann (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Mann continues to deal with hip soreness, which began during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Mavericks. He played for only three minutes in that game before being ruled out. There's a chance he has played his last preseason game and may not return to the floor until the regular-season opener against the Nets on Oct. 22.

Mann (hip) is considered day-to-day, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Mann is dealing with right hip soreness and can be deemed questionable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies. If Mann's injury drags into the regular season, Collin Sexton and Spencer Dinwiddie would have a clearer path to playing time.

Mann is dealing with right hip soreness and won't return to Saturday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Mann logged only three minutes off the bench before being ruled out. He failed to connect on his two field-goal attempts and didn't accumulate any other stats.

Sexton is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Mann registered 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Thursday's preseason 122-116 loss to the Thunder. However, he won't be in the starting unit in this one, as Collin Sexton will get the chance to show what he can do in the backcourt.

Mann registered 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Thursday's 122-116 loss to the Thunder.

Mann got hot from beyond the arc in this one and led his team in scoring while posting an efficient shooting line. He's off to a strong start to the preseason after racking up seven points, five rebounds and five assists in Sunday's opener, also against Oklahoma City.

Head coach Charles Lee implied Sunday that Mann could be an option to start this season, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Rookie first-rounder Kon Knueppel got the first crack at a start in Sunday's preseason opener against the Thunder, and Collin Sexton remains in play for the first unit as well. This situation could remain unresolved even once the season begins, as it could end up being a matchup-based approach. Mann appears more likely to serve as Charlotte's top backup point guard behind LaMelo Ball more often than not.

Mann agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal with the Hornets on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The Hornets didn't tender a qualifying offer to Mann, making him an unrestricted free agent. However, the 24-year-old guard is set to return to Charlotte on a new deal and will likely provide a spark off the team's bench in 2025-26. He appeared in only 13 regular-season games in 2024-25 due to a back disc herniation, averaging 14.1 points, 3.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers across 24.5 minutes per game during that span.

The Hornets did not tender a $6.94 million qualifying offer to Mann on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

This move makes Mann an unrestricted free agent. This is a surprising development because Mann had a lot of success with the Hornets prior to his injury -- he averaged 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 13 regular-season appearances before being held out with the back injury for the remainder of the campaign. He was deemed fully healthy in June and is likely to draw considerable interest as a free agent.

Mann has been declared healthy after being held to 13 games during the 2024-25 season due to back disc herniation, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Charania notes that Mann has participated in all of the club's offseason basketball activities, including 5-on-5 scrimmages. The Florida product was off to a strong start to the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 made threes in 13 appearances before being held out with the back injury and will become a restricted free agent over the offseason.

Mann (back) has been ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 season, Spencer Percy of Buzz Beat Podcast reports.

Mann is expected to need surgery on his back to repair a disc, effectively ending his season. The Hornets have gotten used to playing without the 23-year-old, as he hasn't seen any game action since Nov. 21, but this is still another big loss for the club, who will continue to rely on Vasilije Micic and two-way players KJ Simpson and Isaiah Wong in the backcourt.

Mann (back) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Nets.

Mann will now miss his 29th straight contest due to a back injury. Until Mann is able to participate in full-contact practice or Charlotte provides a timetable for his return, he can be considered out indefinitely.

Mann (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Mann has not played since Nov. 21 due to disc irritation in his back. His next chance to play is Wednesday against the Nets, though the 2021 first-round pick doesn't have a clear timeline for his return.

Mann (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Mann has been sidelined since Nov. 21 due to disc irritation in his back, and there haven't been any signs of him being anywhere close to returning to action. His next chance to play will come against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Mann (back) will not play Friday against the Bulls.

Mann has been sidelined since Nov. 21 due to disc irritation in his back, and he's overdue for a re-evaluation -- Charlotte announced on Dec. 30 that the guard would be re-evaluated in two weeks. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable at best for Monday's game versus Dallas.

Mann (back) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Mann hasn't played since Nov. 21 due to disc irritation in his back, and he won't be able to return to Charlotte's lineup Wednesday. Vasilije Micic should continue functioning as the backup point guard behind LaMelo Ball against Utah, and Nick Smith should be able to maintain a spot in the Hornets' rotation off the bench.

The Hornets announced Monday that Mann (back) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Mann will continue his rehab and recently increased his intensity of on-court work, but the Hornets will bring him along slowly. Given this timetable, the earliest Mann could return to the court is Jan. 15 against the Jazz. Mann was having a terrific campaign prior to the injury, posting 14.1 points with 3.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers per game.

The Hornets announced Monday that Mann (back) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Mann has been sidelined since Nov. 21 due to lower back soreness diagnosed as disc irritation. He has begun light court work and returned to weight room activities, so the good news for Charlotte is that he's progressing in the right direction. Based on this timetable, the earliest Mann will likely return is Jan. 3 against Detroit.

Mann (back) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Hawks and is expected to be reevaluated in two weeks.

Mann's absence will mark his fifth-straight due to lower back soreness diagnosed as disc irritation. He will continue rehabilitation and is unlikely to return until Dec. 19 against the Wizards at the earliest following the NBA's in-season tournament. It is poor timing for the backup point guard, as starter LaMelo Ball is also expected to be sidelined during the same time period, which means it is a missed opportunity for increased playing time. As a result, Brandon Miller, Seth Curry, Vasilije Micic, Nick Smith and Cody Martin are the backcourt candidates for Charlotte going forward.

Mann (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Mann is slated to miss a fourth straight game and can be considered doubtful for the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set against the Hawks on Saturday. With LaMelo Ball (calf) also out Friday, Vasilije Micic, Seth Curry and Nick Smith are candidates for increased roles.

Mann (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Miami.

Mann will miss a third straight game due to a low back injury. Seth Curry, Nick Smith and Vasilije Micic are candidates for a few extra minutes again. Mann's next chance to suit up will come Friday versus New York, but that's the first half of a back-to-back set.

Mann (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic.

Mann has been a mainstay on the injury report due to lingering back soreness and will sit for the second consecutive game. The 23-year-old will miss his fourth outing across Charlotte's last seven, and in his absence the club will likely continue to take an extended look at Cody Martin and Vasilije Micic off the bench.

Mann is out for Saturday's game versus the Bucks, due to lower back soreness, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Mann will miss Saturday's contest due to lower back soreness that has already forced him to sit out two of Charlotte's last five outings. In his absence, Seth Curry and Vasilije Micic are candidates to receive increased playing time. Mann's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Orlando.

Mann (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Mann has missed two of the Hornets' last four games, but he'll play in back-to-back contests for the first time since early November. Mann has been a steady weapon on offense for Charlotte off the bench, averaging 12.0 points per game and shooting 41.1 percent from three in eight outings since the start of November.

Mann is probable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Mann has missed two of the past four games due to a back issue, though his latest absence was the second night of a back-to-back set. He is expected to play again Thursday after posting 19 points, six assists and three rebounds in 26 minutes during Tuesday's one-point loss to the Nets.

Mann amassed 19 points (7-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 loss to the Nets.

The fourth-year guard has been dealing with a sore back that cost him two of the last three games, but Mann looked fit as he produced his best scoring performance since Nov. 1. The four made threes also tied his season high, and he's on pace for career-best numbers from beyond the arc, averaging 2.0 threes while shooting 42.1 percent from long distance to fuel his career-high 14.8 points a game.

Mann (back) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Nets.

Mann has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Charlotte's previous contest with lower back soreness. The 23-year-old guard should continue to operate as one of the Hornets' primary bench options in the backcourt.

Coach Charles Lee said Mann (back), who is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets, will warmup with the intention of playing, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Mann missed Sunday's loss to Cleveland due to the low back soreness, though he is seemingly on track for a return to game action. Through seven appearances in November, the 23-year-old has averaged 11.0 points, 2.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds across 22.6 minutes per game.

Mann (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Mann was sidelined for Sunday's game against Cleveland as he manages a lower-back injury. If Mann is unable to play Tuesday, Vasilije Micic and Seth Curry would see additional playing time off the Hornets' bench.

Mann (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Mann will miss the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set due to injury management for a lower back issue that sidelined him for a loss to the Magic last week. In his absence, Seth Curry and Vasilije Micic are candidates for increased roles. Mann should be available for Tuesday's matchup in Brooklyn.

Coach Charles Lee said Mann (back) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Cavaliers, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Mann will likely miss the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set due to injury management for a lower back issue that sidelined him for a loss to the Magic last week. In Mann's expected absence, Seth Curry and Vasilije Micic are candidates for increased roles. Mann should be available for Tuesday's matchup in Brooklyn.

Mann is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to low back injury management.

Mann missed a game last week due to a back injury but returned to action Saturday against the Bucks and posted 11 points (5-8 FG) in 21 minutes off the bench. If he's sidelined Sunday, Vasilije Micic and Seth Curry would be candidates for a few extra minutes.

Mann (back) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Bucks.

Mann will return to action Saturday after missing Charlotte's previous contest due to lower back soreness. Mann is averaging 8.6 points, 3.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 21.4 minutes across his last five outings.

Mann (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.

Mann was able to play through lower back soreness during Sunday's 107-105 loss to the 76ers, but he'll sit this one out in hopes of avoiding a more complicated issue. His next chance to play will come against the Bucks on Saturday.

Mann (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.

Mann was able to play through lower back soreness during Sunday's 107-105 loss to the 76ers, during which he logged five points over 16 minutes. After Tuesday's contest, Mann will get extended time to rest before the Hornets' following game Saturday against the Bucks.

Mann (back) will play in Sunday's game against the 76ers.

Mann came into Sunday's contest with back soreness but he will be able to play through it. Mann has been a key contributor for Charlotte this season, scoring in double-digits in eight out of nine games thus far,

Mann is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the 76ers due to lower back soreness.

Despite dealing with a back injury, Mann is expected to play in Sunday's contest. The 23-year-old guard is enjoying a breakout campaign in 2024-25, converting 40.0 percent of his 5.0 three-point attempts per contest.

Mann amassed four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 win over Detroit.

Mann struggled to get anything going offensively, scoring season-low four points. Prior to Wednesday, he had scored double-digits in seven consecutive games, providing the Hornets with a reliable scoring punch off the bench. Although this was a poor performance, look for Mann to bounce back in what could be a high-scoring encounter against the Pacers on Friday.

Mann finished Friday's 124-109 loss to the Celtics with 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one block across 30 minutes.

Mann has established himself as one of the NBA's best bench players early in the season, scoring more than 20 twenty points in three of his five appearances. With Brandon Miller (glute) and Seth Curry (knee) dealing with injuries, Mann could receive an even bigger role in Charlotte's upcoming contests.

Mann recorded 27 points (10-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 victory over the Raptors.

Mann outplayed the starting shooting guard, Seth Curry, by a wide margin and played a sizable role in this win, the first one for the Hornets in the 2024-25 season. Mann has been one of the best bench scorers in the first week-plus of the regular season, averaging 20.5 points per game and shooting 44.6 percent from the field while logging just 28.5 minutes per contest.

Mann supplied 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to the Heat.

Through three games, Mann has averaged 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 28.7 minutes per game off the bench. Mann should continue to see extended playing time as long as Josh Green (Achilles) and Brandon Miller (hip) remain out.

Mann chipped in 24 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 victory over the Rockets.

Mann continued his strong play from the preseason, pouring in 24 points off the bench. He has emerged as an early-season contender for waiver wire add of the season, especially if he can continue to put the ball in the basket. Brandon Miller left the game with a hip concern, affording Mann some extra run down the stretch. Although Miller's injury doesn't appear to be too serious, if he misses any time going forward, Mann could continue to reap the benefits.

Mann tallied 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists and four rebounds during Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.

Mann retreated to the bench Tuesday as LaMelo Ball (rest) returned to the starting lineup. Despite the demotion, Mann continued his strong preseason by leading the bench in scoring and was second on the Hornets in that category behind Brandon Miller (26). Mann is expected to come off the bench during the 2024-25 regular season, but he could have a big role on some nights should Ball and/or Miller be sidelined.

Mann tallied 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Ot, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 win over the Grizzlies.

While Mann's streak of production is encouraging, LaMelo Ball's return will severely limit the Florida product's usage in the regular season. Mann's situation could be worse, as Ball has had difficulty staying healthy and needs solid bench support. Unless something happens to Ball or Brandon Miller, Mann will toil with the second unit.

Mann finished Tuesday's 111-108 win over the Heat with 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal over 19 minutes.

Mann has led the Hornets' bench in scoring in both preseason contests. He started in 28 games for the Hornets after being acquired at the trade deadline from the Thunder during the 2023-24 regular season, and over that span he averaged 11.9 points, 5.2 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 31.1 minutes per game. Mann will be the first guard off the bench for Charlotte for the 2024-25 campaign behind starters LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller.

Mann totaled 19 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and eight assists across 31 minutes during Friday's 131-98 loss to the Celtics.

Mann extended his double-digit scoring streak to four games Friday, and he has reached that mark in five of his last six games. Mann and Nick Smith were the only two Charlotte players to score 10-plus points in Friday's loss. Since missing three games in March due to a groin injury, Mann is averaging 12.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.8 steals over 32.0 minutes per game.

Mann ended Wednesday's 115-114 win over the Hawks with 16 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and seven steals over 37 minutes.

Mann has now topped 30 minutes of playing time in five consecutive games, and he logged a season-high seven steals during Wednesday's narrow win. Over his last five outings, he's averaged 12.6 points, 5.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 3.6 steals in 34.4 minutes per game. The Hornets are dealing with several late-season absences, so Mann should have a chance to maintain plenty of production over the team's final two regular-season games.

Mann chipped in 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-104 loss to the Mavericks.

Mann's production has been pretty sporadic, but his usage rate has remained steady as the Hornets continue to put the ball in his hands. Through five April games, Mann has averaged 10.2 points, 4.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals.

Mann ended with 18 points (7-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and four steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 121-118 loss to the Thunder.

Mann was perfect from the field and left his mark on both ends of the court, racking up at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Mann has been a regular starter for the Hornets since the trade deadline, averaging 11.5 points, 4.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game over his last 24 contests.

Mann chipped in 11 points (4-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 89-86 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Since being traded to Charlotte on Feb. 8, Mann has started in every game he has played, averaging 11.4 points, 4.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 30.9 minutes, while shooting 44.2 percent. Prior to the trade, the 23-year-old appeared in only 13 games for the Thunder, averaging just 3.8 points in 9.2 minutes. With the litany of injuries to the backcourt, including LaMelo Ball (ankle), Seth Curry (ankle) and Cody Martin (ankle), expect Mann to continue receiving significant minutes.

Mann (illness) ended Tuesday's 112-92 loss to Orlando with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes.

Mann was a late addition to Tuesday's injury report due to a non-COVID illness, but he was good to for the game. It was only the fourth time in his 15 games with the Hornets that Mann played less than 30 minutes, but that was due to Charlotte being down by as many as 41 points. Mann and the Hornets will look to break out of their three-game losing streak against the Hawks on March 23.

Mann (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Magic.

Mann has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a non-COVID illness. Mann is averaging 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.2 steals in 33.4 minutes across his last five outings.

Mann is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to an illness.

Mann is a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. If he's sidelined again, Vasilije Micic would see a boost, while Nick Smith and JT Thor may enter the rotation again.

Mann ended Saturday's 109-98 loss to Philadelphia with 21 points (7-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and four steals over 37 minutes.

The 21 points ties his best performance since coming over the Hornets in the Gordon Heyward trade with the Thunder, while the four steals ties his career high. Mann has been producing solid numbers with his new team, averaging 12.2 points, 5.3 boards, 4.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 threes over 14 games for Charlotte in 31.3 minutes a contest.

Mann (groin) tallied 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes Wednesday in the Hornets' 110-98 win over the Grizzlies.

Before he had missed Charlotte's last three games with a left groin strain, Mann had been filling in as the Hornets' starting point guard in place of LaMelo Ball (ankle), but Mann moved into an off-ball role on the top unit Wednesday while Vasilije Micic served as the team's floor general. Though Mann still saw a healthy minutes count in his return, the role change may have had a hand in him coming up empty in the assist column, after he had averaged 4.7 assists per game in his previous 11 starts with Charlotte. Though Ball's return to game action doesn't appear to be imminent and his minutes shouldn't be affected, Mann's fantasy ceiling will be lower if he continues to play alongside Micic.

Mann is in the starting five for Wednesday's game game versus the Grizzlies.

After missing Charlotte's last three contests with a groin injury, Mann will replace Grant Williams in the starting lineup Wednesday. Mann is averaging 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals in 30.9 minutes across his last 10 starting appearances.

Mann (groin) will be available to play Wednesday against the Grizzlies.

Mann is back after a three-game absence, and his return will likely result in fewer minutes for Vasiije Micic and Nick Smith Jr. Mann was playing well prior to going down, so make sure he's not floating around on your waiver wire.

Mann (groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Mann is in danger of missing his fourth straight contest Wednesday due to a left groin strain. If Mann is ruled out, Vasilije Micic will likely remain in the starting five.

Mann (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Mann was unlikely to play Monday, so this latest update doesn't come as a shocking surprise, and the former Florida standout will now miss a third consecutive game. Even though Mann had decent games in a starting role, he hasn't been setting the world on fire lately, averaging 11.6 points per game over his previous 11 contests. Expect Vasilije Micic to remain in the starting unit at the point guard role.

Mann (groin) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Mann will likely miss a third straight game due to a right groin strain. If he joins LaMelo Ball (ankle), Seth Curry (ankle), Cody Martin (ankle) and Bryce McGowens (knee) on the sidelines, Vasilije Micic and Nick Smith would be candidates for increased usage again.

Mann (groin) will not play in Saturday's matchup with the Nets.

Mann's absence will mark his second straight due to a groin injury. Bryce McGowens (knee) would presumably be the prime beneficiary of Mann being out if he gets the green light, but Vasilije Micic and Nick Smith would be next in line should McGowens also be ruled out. Mann's next chance to play will come Monday versus the Pistons.

Mann (groin) won't play in Friday's game versus the Wizards.

Mann has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to a right groin strain. Bryce McGowens will likely replace him in the starting lineup. Mann's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Brooklyn.

Mann is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Wizards due to a right groin strain.

Mann is in danger of missing his first contest since Feb. 9 due to his right groin strain. If the 22-year-old guard is ruled out, Bryce McGowens will likely receive increased playing time.

Mann notched 18 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 101-89 loss to Orlando.

Mann has been an absolute revelation in a starting role for the Hornets, as he continues to find ways to contribute on both ends of the court on a steady basis while making the most of his expanded role. Mann has started in 11 consecutive games for Charlotte, a span in which he's averaging 11.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.6 steals per contest. While he's not going to turnaround a fantasy playoff matchup with his contributions, there's no question he should be rostered in multiple formats as long as he continues to play as a starter.

Mann posted 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-85 loss to the Bucks.

Mann has been operating as the Hornets' starting point guard since joining the team from the Thunder before the deadline, and the returns have been encouraging. Mann has scored in double digits in five of his seven starts with Charlotte while also averaging 5.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game in that seven-game span.

Mann provided 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 122-99 win over Atlanta.

Mann has started in each of Charlotte's last three games, but this was his best performance of the campaign by a wide margin, posting a season-high mark in points while also putting up solid numbers in peripheral categories. Mann was recently traded to the Hornets in the deal that sent Gordon Hayward to the Thunder, and he figures to see decent minutes in the backcourt, as least until LaMelo Ball (ankle) is able to return to action.

Mann racked up 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and seven assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 111-102 win over the Pacers.

Mann hasn't had to shake off much rust across two games with Charlotte after being traded from Oklahoma City on Thursday. The 23-year-old has stepped into a primary facilitating role, accumulating a 16:6 AST:TO ratio with his new franchise thus far. Mann only logged 119 minutes with Oklahoma City this season, so he's a candidate to continue improving down the stretch of the season as he settles into a consistent role.

Mann totaled nine points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 115-106 victory over the Grizzlies.

Mann made his debut with Charlotte after being traded at the trade deadline, earning the start while tallying team-high-tying marks in assists and steals while ending one point and one dime shy of a double-double in a winning effort. The third-year guard set a season high in assists, surpassing his previous season high of four dimes which has occurred twice this season. Mann has now tallied nine or more points in four outings, his first as a starter.

Mann will start Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

The Hornets will use Mann next to Cody Martin in the backcourt, and both players are likely to share ball-handling duties with Brandon Miller. Unlike in Oklahoma City, Mann is expected to get a lot of opportunities with his new team and the Hornets aren't wasting any time with the decision to start him.

Mann (recently traded) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Mann is available to make his Charlotte debut after being traded from the Thunder. However, it remains to be seen what role is given to the 22-year-old guard.

Mann (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Milwaukee.

Mann was traded from the Thunder to the Hornets on Thursday and will be unable to debut for his new team a day later since his trade is pending. Whether he'll be available for Saturday's game against Memphis remains to be seen.

Mann was traded from the Thunder to the Hornets along with Davis Bertans on Thursday in exchange for Gordon Hayward, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Mann wasn't part of Oklahoma City's rotation for most of the season, but he'll have a chance for a change of scenery after spending the first three years of his career with the Thunder. It seems unlikely that the 23-year-old will garner a sizable role with his new team.

Mann (personal) isn't listed on the Thunder's injury report for Tuesday's game against Utah.

Mann missed Sunday's game due to personal remains but will return to action Tuesday. The Thunder have seven players listed as questionable, so Mann could factor into the rotation if Oklahoma City is shorthanded versus the Jazz.

Mann (personal) won't play in Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Mann's absence doesn't figure to have any fantasy impact as he has been out of the lineup since Jan. 11 due to personal reasons. His next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Jazz.

Mann (personal) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Mann hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Jan. 11, so even if he's cleared, he likely won't make much of an impact sitting outside of Oklahoma City's rotation.

Mann won't play in Friday's game against the Hornets due to personal reasons.

Mann's absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops, as he hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 11.

Mann doesn't appear on the injury report for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Mann was ruled out ahead of Sunday's 120-104 loss to the Pistons after he was listed as "not with team" on the NBA's official injury report. The third-year guard's absence from the report for Monday's contest implies that he's rejoined the Thunder, but he's still unlikely to be included in head coach Mark Daigneault's rotation against Minnesota.

Mann is out for Sunday's game versus the Pistons due to not being with the team.

Mann's absence won't affect Oklahoma City's rotation. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Minnesota.

The Thunder recalled Mann from the Oklahoma City Blue of the G League on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Mann will return to the NBA after a short stint in the G League. He has not received any action for the Thunder since Jan. 11.

The Thunder assigned Mann to the Oklahoma City Blue of the G League on Tuesday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Mann is averaging 3.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 9.2 minutes across his 13 NBA appearances this season. The 22-year-old guard should receive increased opportunities to develop in the G League.

Mann (illness) is available for Thursday's game versus the Jazz.

Mann has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday despite dealing with a non-COVID illness. However, Mann is unlikely to receive significant playing time.

Mann is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Jazz due to a non-COVID illness.

Mann, Ousmane Dieng, Luguentz Dort and Keyontae Johnson all seem to have contracted an illness ahead of Thursday's contest. However, Mann's potential absence is unlikely to affect the Thunder's rotation.

Mann amassed 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and four assists in 18 minutes during Thursday's 139-77 win over the Trail Blazers.

Mann stepped on an NBA court for the first time since Dec. 27, and he made the most of the opportunity during garbage time in a game that was already decided well before he checked into action. That said, Mann is not expected to crack the rotation regularly, so he shouldn't be counted on to be a regular fantasy contributor in the foreseeable future.

Mann logged 26 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Oklahoma City Blue's 128-113 win over Birmingham on Tuesday December 5th.

Mann led the blue in points as he made and took the most field goals on the team. However, he did have problems with ball control as he turned the ball over a team-high seven times during the game.

The Thunder recalled Mann from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

As expected, Mann has returned to the NBA club after playing in the Blue's game against Birmingham on Tuesday. He finished the contest with 26 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals.

The Thunder assigned Mann to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Mann has been buried on the Thunder's depth chart with an average of 7.8 minutes in six total appearances. He'll get some much needed reps with the Blue.

The Thunder recalled Mann from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Mann and Aleksej Pokusevski were both sent to the G League earlier in the day and presumably practiced before returning to the NBA club. Mann played a season-high 24 minutes during the Thunder's blowout win over Portland on Sunday, totaling seven points, five rebounds and two assists, but he hasn't been part of coach Mark Daigneault's regular rotation this season.

Mann amassed 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist across eight minutes during Sunday's 128-95 loss to Denver.

Mann only took the court for eight minutes in Sunday's game against the Nuggets, but led all Thunder bench players in scoring in a blowout loss. Mann reached double figures in scoring for the first time this season, seeing a limited role off the bench so far for Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City exercised Mann's third-year contract option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann turned in a disappointing 2022-23 campaign after posting a strong rookie year, but the Thunder have still elected to exercise his third-year team option. He averaged 7.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 17.7 minutes per contest (67 games). His salary will be set at $4.9 million for the 2024-25 season.

Mann finished with 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes in Sunday's 117-115 preseason loss to Charlotte.

Mann led all Thunder players in minutes played en route to posting a team-high-tying point total and leading all bench players in rebounds and assists in Sunday's preseason loss. Over two exhibition games, Mann has averaged 13.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 22.5 minutes per contest.

Mann (calf) is cleared for Sunday's preseason contest against Charlotte.

Mann returns after missing Thursday's preseason contest against Detroit. Even with Oklahoma City's key starters resting, Mann will still come off the bench. Vasilije Micic and Cason Wallace will start in the backcourt Sunday.

Mann is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Pistons due to a calf contusion, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann suffered his injury in shootaround Thursday, but there is no indication he is expected to miss any regular-season action. Mann's next chance to suit up is Sunday's preseason matchup with Charlotte.

Mann (finger) is healthy for training camp, Brandon Rahbar of the Daily Thunder reports.

Thunder general manager Sam Presti implied that Mann has been living in the gym during the offseason, so it's clear that the third-year guard is desperate to bounce back after struggling in 2022-23. But with the Thunder noticeable deeper this season, there's no guarantee that Mann breaks into the rotation.

Mann suffered a small avulsion fracture in his right middle finger and is expected to return to basketball activities in two weeks, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann's Summer League is over after impressing in his last two outings. The 22-year-old guard made 67 appearances for the Thunder last season and should be healthy for training camp.

Mann won't play in Tuesday's Summer League game against the Rockets due to an undisclosed reason, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

It doesn't appear as though Mann has suffered an injury, but the Thunder may have seen enough from their young guard in Summer League. The Thunder's next contest is Friday's matchup with Washington.

Mann tallied 23 points (7-15 FG, 4-10 3PT, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and four turnovers in Thursday's 100-91 Summer League win over the 76ers.

Mann played with a lot of poise and confidence, putting his experience with the Thunder over the past two years to good use. Despite a strong performance in the Summer League so far, Mann will be fighting an uphill battle for playing time in the backcourt with the arrival of Vasilije Micic from Europe and 10th overall pick Cason Wallace.

Mann tallied 28 points (10-14 FG, 2-6 3PT, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal over 31 minutes of Wednesday's 94-86 loss to Memphis during Summer League.

Mann was red-hot Wednesday, going a perfect 8-for-8 from inside the arc on his way to a game-high 28 points. The third-year guard has now logged back-to-back 20-point performances in Summer League and should remain OKC's top option for the remainder of Summer League, especially with Jalen Williams (undisclosed) on the sidelines.

Mann will return to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

The Thunder rested all of their main guys for the regular-season finale, but everyone is back for Wednesday's play-in game, so Mann will head back to the bench. It's possible that Mann won't be in the rotation Wednesday.

Mann is starting Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann has been on the fringes of Oklahoma City's rotation in recent weeks, but he'll draw his first start since late October on Sunday since the Thunder are resting several players to close out the regular season. Over four starts earlier this year, he averaged 13.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.

Mann racked up seven points (3-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 loss to the Hornets.

Mann saw 18 minutes off the bench with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined and posted at least five points, two rebounds and two assists for a second straight game. Mann also notched his first multi-steal game since Jan. 3, when he recorded a season-high three swipes in a win over Boston.

Mann contributed 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Thursday's 128-111 loss to Toronto.

Mann was back in the rotation Thursday, playing 21 minutes off the bench after missing the previous three games. The Thunder are not afraid to shuffle their rotation based on the matchup, and so while this was a decent performance, there is no guarantee Mann will remain active for the next game.

Mann closed with 14 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 132-101 loss to the Suns.

Mann scored his most points since Feb. 6 and played his most minutes since Jan. 3 in Wednesday's loss. However, the second-year guard has tallied double-digit points in just three of his last 10 appearances and doesn't have a big enough role to offer much fantasy value outside of a reserve role in deep leagues.

Mann ended Friday's 124-115 loss to the Suns with 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 16 minutes.

Mann failed to reach the 20-minute threshold for the third game in a row, but that didn't matter much here, and he posted his best scoring output since recording 18 points on Feb. 6 in a loss against the Warriors. Mann holds a minimal -- and inconsistent -- role off the bench, however, so he doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside even on days when he posts decent stat lines.

Mann was recalled from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Mann appeared in the Blue's 106-98 loss to the Hustle on Wednesday and logged 12 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 31 minutes. He'll likely be available for the Thunder's game against Houston on Wednesday. Over his last five appearances with the Thunder, he's averaged 11.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game.

The Thunder recalled Mann from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue and upgraded him to available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Mann looks like he'll get the chance to pull double duty Monday, as he previously appeared in the Blue's 133-113 loss to the Memphis Hustle earlier in the day. He played 33 minutes for the Blue, logging a team-high 24 points (10-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt) to go with seven rebounds, six assists and two steals. Mann should be able to handle a small role off the bench for the Thunder behind starting guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey.

Mann was recalled from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Monday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Mann was sent to the G League on Monday but wasn't forced to miss any of the Thunder's games. He'll presumably be available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, and he's averaged 11.2 points in 18.0 minutes per game over five appearances in February.

Mann has been assigned to the Blue in the G League, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

With Luguentz Dort healthy again, Mann was going to struggle to see more than a handful of minutes with the Thunder. Look for him to be a featured player in the G League.

Mann provided 18 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes in Monday's 141-114 loss to the Warriors.

Mann looked to be on the fringe of head coach Mark Daigneault's rotation for parts of January, but he looks to be locked in as the Thunder's first guard off the bench for the moment in light of his hot start to February. He's hit double figures in the scoring column in each of the Thunder's first three games this month, averaging 15.7 points and 2.3 three-pointers on 46.2 percent shooting from the field. Mann typically offers little else in other categories, so his fantasy upside will remain capped unless Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and/or Josh Giddey miss time and he's needed to take on more minutes.

Mann amassed 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 loss to the Rockets.

Mann scored double-digit points for the first time since Jan. 12 on Wednesday. His four three-pointers made were also his second-most of the season.

Mann finished Friday's 112-100 win over the Cavaliers with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over nine minutes.

Mann failed to score in nine minutes Friday, a solemn performance in what has been a season full of disappointment. He has not scored more than seven points in over two weeks, his playing time fluctuating wildly from one night to the next. He can be looked at for streaming purposes when afforded meaningful minutes, although, at this point, that is only likely to occur if and when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander misses time.

Mann recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two assists over 18 minutes during Thursday's 133-114 victory over Philadelphia.

Mann led the Thunder second unit in scoring, surpassing the double-digit scoring mark for the first time since tallying 21 points Jan. 3 against Boston. Mann has scored 10 or more points on 15 occasions this season.

Mann supplied 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 150-117 win over the Celtics.

Mann stepped up with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) on the sideline, turning in his best all-around performance of the season. Don't look now but Mann has scored at least 17 points in three of his past four games. His role tends to fluctuate from night to night, meaning this could simply be a purple patch. He isn't a guy to target in standard formats but is worth taking a flier on in deeper leagues, especially if Gilgeous-Alexander is forced to miss more time.

Mann finished with 17 points (8-19 FG, 1-9 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Thursday's 121-113 loss to the Hornets.

Mann led the Thunder bench with his second consecutive game of at least 15 points, reaching double figures in three of his last four outings. Mann has recorded 15 or more points in five games this year.

Mann finished with 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 130-114 win over the Spurs.

After a recent stint with the G League's Oklahoma City Blue, Mann has resurfaced in the NBA squad's rotation over the past two games. Mann saw more run than usual Tuesday while starter Luguentz Dort was limited to 22 minutes, but given the volatile nature of the Thunder rotation this season, it's tough to rely on that trend carrying over into Thursday's game at Charlotte. With six three-pointers in 11 attempts over his past two outings, though, it wouldn't be surprising if Mann was prioritized over Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins while he's sporting a hot hand.

Mann exploded for 40 points (13-26 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds, and three assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 132-131 loss to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

After being sent down to the G League, Mann made his presence felt immediately finishing as the leading scorer. However, his stellar performance wasn't enough to lead the Blue to victory in a gritty loss to the Mad Ants. If he sticks with the team, expect him to continue to perform at a high level as he's averaging 37.5 points over two appearances.

Mann was recalled from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Mann spent nearly a week in the G League but should be available for Friday's game against the Pelicans after being recalled. Over his last five appearances with the parent club, he's averaged 4.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game.

Mann will be assigned to the organization's G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue, "soon," head coach Mark Daigneault said, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Daigneault didn't specify when Mann will be assigned to the G League, but he did say the move was already planned and that it's an idea to give Mann more minutes and more confidence. Mann has been playing off the bench regularly for the Thunder, but he should see a bigger role with the Blue.

Mann contributed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in eight minutes during Friday's 112-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Mann logged just eight minutes off the bench in the loss, continuing what has been a frustrating period for the second-year player. He opened the season with a number of encouraging performances but has since fallen well off the radar in terms of standard fantasy value. At this point, he would require a number of key players to miss time to have any chance at producing at a 12-team level.

Mann registered 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 victory over the Spurs.

Mann scored in double figures for the first time since Nov. 11 against Toronto, and he did so with the help of an efficient shooting night. The Florida product has also collected two steals in each of his last three matchups. Mann is putting up 9.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists through 19 games this season.

Mann (back) finished with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 12 minutes in Monday's 129-119 loss to the Knicks.

Mann made his return from a three-game absence due to a sore back and saw a season-low minutes total for any game in which he didn't exit early due to injury. The second-year guard's playing-time outlook could improve slightly in the games to come, but it's also possible that finding more minutes for surging rookie Jalen Williams is a greater priority for the Thunder.

Mann (back) is available for Monday's contest against the Knicks, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

After missing the Thunder's past three outings, Mann is officially available for Oklahoma City on Monday. The second-year pro is averaging 11.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 24.1 minutes throughout his first 13 appearances this season.

Mann (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Mann was initially listed as out for Monday's matchup, but he was one of several players that the Thunder upgraded to questionable a few hours before tipoff. Even if he's available, it's possible that he faces a minutes restriction after missing the last three games.

Mann (back) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Knicks, Clemente Almanza of The Thunder Wire reports.

Mann continues to nurse a sore back and will miss a fourth straight game. Continue to consider the 2021 first-rounder questionable on a game-to-game basis as OKC heads into a four-game week. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Denver.

Mann (back) has been ruled out Friday against Memphis.

Mann has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Knicks due to back soreness, Nick Crain of Forbes.com reports.

Mann generated three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and was a minus-4 turning his three minutes on the court before exiting the game early in the second quarter. The Thunder will face a quick turnaround after Sunday's contest with the team set to travel to Boston for the second half of a back-to-back set Monday, so even if Mann's injury doesn't prove to be significant, he could still be at risk of missing time.

Mann (undisclosed) headed to the locker room during the first half of Sunday's contest against the Knicks, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Mann left the contest after a collision and there's no word regarding a possible return. The Thunder are already missing a couple of contributors in this one, but if Mann can't return, then Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins should be in line to see more minutes off the bench.

Mann amassed 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals over 36 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 136-132 double-overtime loss to the Bucks.

The second-year guard topped 20 points in a game for the second time this season, and he also set new season highs in rebounds and threes. Mann was the only member of OKC's second unit to see significant run with the starters, but there's no opportunity for him to move into the starting five as long as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey are healthy. On the season, Mann is averaging 11.6 points, 3.4 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.9 steals in 25.6 minutes.

Mann will come off the bench Tuesday against the Magic, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

With Josh Giddey back and Jalen Williams getting his first career start, Mann will come off the bench. He should still be a meaningful part of the rotation.

Mann logged 25 points (10-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 108-94 victory over the Clippers.

Mann might have needed 24 shots just to score 25 points, but he still ended up being one of Oklahoma City's top performers in this shocking win against a Western Conference contender. While he's not going to hover around the 20-point mark on a regular basis, the fact that he's scored in double digits in each of his first four games of the season is a welcomed sign for the former Florida standout.

Mann is starting Sunday against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Mann came off the bench for Oklahoma City's first two games of the regular season and averaged 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 25.5 minutes per game. He'll draw his first start of the year with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) sidelined.

Mann produced 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 115-108 loss to the Timberwolves.

Mann proved his value as a scoring threat last season and should play a similar role this time around, and though he wasn't exactly efficient with his play, he still ended as one of the Thunder's top scoring players in this season-opening loss. Mann averaged 10.4 points per game last season, but if he keeps progressing, then he's likely to top that figure throughout the current campaign.

The Thunder have exercised Mann's fourth-year option for the 2023-24 season, Andrew Schlecht reports.

Mann impressed in his first professional campaign, racking up 10.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 22.8 minutes per game in a mixture of starts and bench appearances. He will likely begin 2022-23 in a bench role but could have multiple paths to a starting role this year.

Mann totaled 17 points (6-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists and one rebound over 30 minutes Thursday in a 118-112 victory against San Antonio.

Mann came off the bench in the contest but finished second on OKC with 30 minutes. He made only two of eight shots from two-point range but went 4-for-8 from beyond the arc en route to 17 points. Mann finished the preseason with per-game averages of 16.0 points, 3.0 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 3.8 three-pointers. He'll likely log substantial minutes as a reserve once the regular season begins.

Mann will come off the bench for Thursday's preseason finale against the Spurs.

Mann started Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons, scoring 12 points while adding three assists, two rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes of action. With the Thunder experimenting with the lineup for the finale, Mann will shift to a reserve role Thursday as Jaylin Williams replaces him in the starting five.

Mann (rest) will start Tuesday's game versus the Pistons, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Mann sat out Sunday's international exhibition but is back in the fold and the starting unit Tuesdsay. He should receive considerable minutes in this one as a result.

Mann (rest) won't play in Sunday's exhibition game against Ra'anana Maccabi, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann will rest along with three other Thunder players, but it doesn't appear like Man is dealing with an injury. Following Sunday's game, Mann will have two more opportunities to play in the preseason before the team opens the regular season against the Timberwolves on Oct. 19.

Mann put up 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one steal and one block over 23 minutes in Monday's 112-101 exhibition victory versus Denver.

Mann led all scorers in the contest with 17 points. It was a promising start to the exhibition slate after the point guard shot just 39.3 percent from the field in his rookie campaign. Mann will be battling for backup minutes behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) this season, but with the latter's status for the beginning of the campaign in question, there could be an opportunity for Mann to make an early impression.

Mann put up 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one steal and one block over 23 minutes in Monday's 112-101 exhibition victory versus Denver.

Mann led all scorers in the contest with 17 points and knocked down half of his six three-point tries. It was a promising start to the exhibition slate after the point guard shot just 39.3 percent from the field in his rookie campaign. Mann will be battling for backup minutes behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) this season, but with the latter's status for the beginning of the campaign in question, there could be an opportunity for Mann to make an early impression.

Mann is out for Friday's Summer League game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.

There's nothing to indicate Mann is dealing with a serious injury that will prevent him from being ready for training camp or even tournament play in Summer League.

Mann (COVID-19 protocols) cleared protocols and will be available for the final Salt Lake City Summer League Game on Thursday against the 76ers, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.

Mann missed Oklahoma City's Summer League opener after landing in the NBA's health and safety protocols Tuesday, but he'll be able to make his debut in the Salt Lake finale. The guard averaged 10.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 22.8 minutes per game last season.

Mann has been ruled out for Tuesday's Summer League game against the Jazz after entering the league's health and safety protocols, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Mann (hamstring) will remain out for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Mann will sit for the seventh straight game as the Thunder continue to set a new standard for tanking down the stretch. Mann will almost certainly remain sidelined for the regular season finale Sunday against the Clippers.

Mann (hamstring) is out Wednesday against the Jazz.

Mann is slated to miss a sixth consecutive contest. With only two games remaining in the regular season, it's unclear if he'll play again this season.

Mann (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against the Trail Blazers.

Mann will miss a fifth straight game due to an apparent hamstring injury. With the Thunder entering a back-to-back, he'll probably remain out for Wednesday's game at Utah.

Mann (hamstring) is out Sunday against the Suns.

A strained hamstring will sideline Mann for a fourth straight game. The Thunder are presumably in no rush to bring him back.

Mann (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Mann will be sidelined for a third straight game with a right hamstring strain, and given how liberally the non-contending Thunder have been with shutting players down, it wouldn't be surprising if the rookie didn't play in any of the team's remaining six contests. Vit Krejci has picked up starts in the backcourt in place of Mann is both of the past two games, averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 three-pointers and 2.0 steals in 33.5 minutes between those outings.

Mann (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Hawks, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Mann (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, KL Chouinard of Hawks.com reports.

Mann was a late scratch from Monday's thriller against the Blazers due to a strained right hamstring, but he's hoping to get back on the floor for the second of OKC's four games this week. Prior to the injury, Mann had averaged 21.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 4.0 threes over his last five appearances.

Mann won't play in Monday's game against Portland due to a right hamstring strain, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

The rookie has been playing well recently averaging 18.3 points per game dating back to March 13. Thus, Mann's absence in the lineup will leave a hefty hole for the Thunder to fill. Theo Maledon will presumably garner the start, and Nit Krejci will likely see increased run off the bench versus the Blazers on Monday. Mann may be able to return to the starting five Wednesday against Atlanta barring any major setbacks over the next day.

Mann registered 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist during Wednesday's 118-102 win over the Magic.

Mann continued his fantastic play on the offensive end of the floor with another 20-point performance. It was his third game across his past four outings scoring at least 21 points. Since entering the starting five Jan. 28, the rookie is averaging 14.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 38.6 percent overall from the field and 35.6 percent from distance.

Mann finished with 35 points (13-21 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Monday's 132-123 loss to Boston.

Mann's point total was not only his highest as a pro, it established a Thunder franchise rookie record. The University of Florida product also knocked down a career-best seven three-pointers and added to his impressive stat line with seven boards and four dimes. Mann saw limited action at the start of the season, but he has been solid in the second half of the campaign, registering double-digit points in 11 of 13 contests since the All-Star break.

Mann racked up 13 points (5-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 90-85 loss to the Magic.

Mann wasn't particularly efficient from the floor during Sunday's narrow loss, but he still finished second on the team in scoring while returning to the starting lineup after a one-game stint in a bench role. He's now scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances and has averaged 15.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 31.0 minutes per game during that time.

Mann will start Sunday's contest against the Magic in place of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann has started 18 of the Thunder's past 21 games due to various injuries among their starting five. As a starter this season, he's averaged 13.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.8 minutes per game. He figures to see a similar workload against Orlando.

Mann closed Friday's 120-108 loss to Miami with 25 points (10-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt) and eight rebounds over 28 minutes.

The Thunder started Aaron Wiggins and Aleksej Pokusevski alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but the move to the bench did not seem to affect Mann, who erupted for his highest scoring total in more than a month. Mann has emerged as a late-season player to monitor, having averaged 15.8 points, 4.6 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 threes over his last 13 games.

Mann will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Heat, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann is set to come off the bench for the first time since Feb. 24 as Aleksej Pokusevski replaces him in the starting five Friday. The 20-year-old is averaging 9.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 22.0 minutes per game this season.

Mann (ankle) is available for Sunday's contest against the Grizzlies, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Despite not practicing Saturday, Mann will be back in the rotation Sunday following a one-game absence due to an ankle issue. Before the injury, he had started 17 of 18 contests and had averaged 13.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 29.6 minutes during that stretch.

Mann (ankle) failed to practice Saturday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Mann sat out Wednesday against the Timberwolves due to the ankle issue and will be re-evaluated Sunday to see if he can play against the Grizzlies. If he's out again, Lindy Waters could draw another start.

Mann has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to a left ankle sprain.

Mann sustained an ankle injury Tuesday against the Bucks that briefly forced him to head to the locker room, but he was able to return later in the game. He'll be held out for the second half of the back-to-back set, which should lead to increased roles for Aaron Wiggins, Vit Krejci and Aleksej Pokusevski.

Mann (ankle) checked back into Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Mann briefly went to the locker room to address an ankle injury but was able to return.

Mann went to the locker room with an ankle injury during the first quarter of Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

Mann should be considered questionable to return. The Thunder play again Wednesday against the Timberwolves, so it's a situation to monitor.

Mann replaced Josh Giddey (hip) as a starter in Friday's 129-125 victory over the Pacers and recorded 22 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3PT, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes.

Mann took advantage of his starting opportunity Friday and has done so all year. He is scoring 7.3 more points per game in 14 starts than he has in 33 contests as a reserve. He has had a nice start after the All-Star break with an average of 16.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.0 triples across 32.6 minutes in back-to-back games.

Mann will start Friday's game against the Pacers, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann gets the nod due to Josh Giddey (hip) being a late scratch. In Mann's 13 starts, he's averaged 13.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 28.8 minutes.

Mann accumulated 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and four steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Suns.

Mann moved back to the bench, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returning to the lineup Thursday. Despite the move, Mann still managed to come through with some nice numbers, including career-high production in both assists and steals. The fact he still logged in excess of 30 minutes bodes well for his immediate playing future. While the upside is limited, he still makes for a viable addition in deeper formats, although we wouldn't expect to see peripheral numbers like this all too often.

Mann will come off the bench Thursday against the Suns, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

The rookie first-round pick started the past 11 games for Oklahoma City but will shift back to the bench with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) returning to action. Mann averaged 13.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals during that stretch and should continue to see plenty of run as a reserve for the Thunder.

Mann closed Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Spurs with 24 points (10-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes.

Mann was coming off a 30-point performance against the Knicks and while he couldn't match that up, it's worth noting that this is the first time he records back-to-back games with at least 20 points this season. He's settling well as a starter and is averaging 13.9 points per game since moving into the starting unit, though the efficiency has been lacking a bit as he's making just 36.1 percent of his shots from the field.

Mann recorded 30 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 127-123 overtime win over New York.

Mann was nothing short of outstanding in this game, as he came out of nowhere to score a season-high mark after three straight contests in which he delivered single-digit scoring games. Mann moved to the starting lineup in late January and has been inconsistent, and he's averaging 12.9 points per game over his last 10 contests.

Mann amassed two points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.

Mann failed to make a field goal for just the second time this season and had his lowest point total of the last 20 games. This can partially be attributed to him playing just 18 minutes, his lowest minute total since entering the starting lineup Jan. 28. However, Mann's shooting efficiency has been a problem recently as he has shot just 25.9 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from deep over his last four games. The rookie's next chance to get back on track will be Friday against Philadelphia.

Mann posted 29 points (8-14 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 120-114 overtime victory over the Mavericks.

Mann was on fire from the perimeter, connecting on six triples en route to a career-high scoring night. He also logged a team-high 41 minutes in the win, as the coaching staff opted to go with the hot hand. While this performance will certainly make fantasy managers sit up and take notice, we would need to see some consistency before running to pick him up in 12-team leagues.

Mann is starting Friday's game against the Pacers, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann will draw his first start in nearly two months after he averaged 5.8 points in 15.2 minutes per game across his last five appearances. Aaron Wiggins will come off the bench.

Mann finished Monday's 111-110 loss to Chicago with four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 17 minutes.

Mann offered next to nothing during his 17 minutes on the floor, continuing what has been an underwhelming stretch of games. Despite playing in excess of 15 minutes in 12 consecutive games, he has scored in double-digits only twice, adding a combined 15 assists and seven steals. Clearly, these are not numbers that are highly sought after in fantasy and so he can be safely left on the waiver wire in all moderately shallow leagues.

Mann (COVID-19 protocols) is off the injury report for Wednesday's contest against the Timberwolves.

Mann will return following a five-game absence. In December, he averaged 8.1 points and 2.3 rebounds in 20.1 minutes.

Mann cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols Tuesday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann missed five consecutive contests due to COVID-19 protocols, so he may need some time to regain his conditioning before returning to game action. He will likely be listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Timberwolves. On the season, the rookie first-round pick is averaging 7.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 16.4 minutes.

Mann (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Even with the NBA recently shortening the timeline for vaccinated players that test positive for COVID-19 to exit the protocols, Mann's absence will reach seven days Sunday. Provided the symptoms he's dealing with aren't too significant, he could be ready to go for the Thunder's subsequent game Wednesday in Minnesota.

Mann entered the league's health and safety protocols Sunday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

The rookie out of Florida has appeared in the Thunder's last 13 contests, but seems set to miss the next chunk of OKC's games as he enters the health and safety protocols. Ty Jerome and Theo Maledon emerge as candidates to see more opportunities. This is a tough blow for a Thunder team that is already without forward Darius Bazley (COVID-19)

Mann (toe) is available for Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

The rookie out of Florida came into Wednesday questionable with a toe injury, but will suit up for the team's contest against Denver. Mann has started to find a role within the Thunder's offense as he is averaging 9.3 points and 2.5 rebounds across 21.3 minutes per game over his last 11 showings. Still, the guard's inconsistent makes him a hard fantasy option to trust in all formats.

Mann (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets.

Mann played 14 minutes in Monday's 102-99 win over the Grizzlies, but he landed on the injury report Tuesday with a left toe sprain. If the rookie first-round pick is unable to suit up against the Nuggets, then Ty Jerome will likely step into a larger reserve role behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey.

Mann has been recalled by the Thunder and will be available for Saturday's contest against the Clippers, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Mann projects to help provide depth in the Thunder's backcourt behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey.

Mann finished with 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 116-95 loss to Los Angeles.

Mann posted his best scoring output of the campaign, and while he has scored in double digits just five times all season long, four of those have come across his last six appearances. He's averaging 10.4 points per game so far in December.

Mann will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Pistons, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Mann made a pair of starts last week with Josh Giddey sidelined, but with the Australian rookie back in action Monday, Mann will head back to his usual role off the bench. In his two starts, Mann totaled 23 points, two rebounds, one assist, one block and four three-pointers across 59 minutes.

Mann provided 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 152-79 loss to the Grizzlies.

Mann, along with basically every other Thunder player, was highly disappointing Thursday despite remaining in the starting lineup. Thrashed to the tune of 73 points, this was simply embarrassing for the franchise. Mann is not going to remain in the starting lineup for long, and once the relegation comes, he can be dropped in all competitive leagues.

Mann ended with 11 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 loss to the Rockets.

Mann struggled from the field in the loss and to compound things, offered basically nothing else in terms of production. The rookie has been handed an increased role of late, quite possibly much earlier than the team would have anticipated to begin the season. It is still difficult to gauge where he sits in the rotation when the team is healthy. However, as we know, the Thunder are going to be resting players at every turn, meaning Mann could just continue logging decent minutes for the foreseeable future.

Mann is starting Wednesday's game against Houston, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Mann went off for 17 points in 30 minutes during his squad's last matchup Monday against Houston, and he'll be rewarded by receiving an opportunity to run with the first unit. This marks his first start of the 2021 campaign.

Mann notched 17 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 102-89 loss to Houston.

This was by far the rookie's best game of the season thus far, as Mann erupted for a new career high offensively while finishing in double figures for a second time. Mann's previous best was 12 points against the Kings on Nov. 12. Also, the former Florida Gator has reached the seven-point mark in six different outings.

Mann was recalled by Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann spent several days in the G League but will be available for the Thunder's matchup against the Jazz. He could see some playing time in the backcourt with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined.

Mann (ankle) will sit the rest of Wednesday's matchup with the Rockets, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

Mann suffered a sprained right ankle and won't return to the contest. The 20-year-old's next chance to play will be Friday against the Bucks.

Mann has been recalled by the Thunder for Sunday's game against the Nets, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Mann has appeared in each of the last two games for the Thunder, averaging nine points and three rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game. The 2021 first-round draft pick may continue to get some looks but does not warrant any fantasy consideration.

Mann (nose) tallied six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 14 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Thunder's 108-100 win over the Pelicans.

Mann picked up a nasal injury in his appearance for the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Sunday, but it didn't cost him any action upon rejoining the NBA squad. The rookie first-round pick hadn't played in any of the Thunder's prior four games while on assignment in the G League, but he displaced Ty Jerome as the primary backup to starting point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Wednesday.

Mann exited Sunday's victory over the Salt Lake City Stars early with a nose injury. He had two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across nine minutes before getting injured.

It is unclear whether Mann will be forced to miss additional game time due to his injury. The Blue play again on Friday.

Mann will be a game-time decision Sunday because of a nose injury, according to Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman.

Mann got injured during his previous game playing alongside the Thunder's G League affiliate.

Mann was recalled by the Thunder for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Man was assigned to the Thunder's G-League affiliate last week and will make his return to the roster for the first time since Oct. 27. The 20-year old guard has averaged 4.8 points and a rebound in 10.6 minutes across five games this year and will hold a minimal role at best for the young Thunder team.

Mann (heel) practiced Saturday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Right heel soreness kept Mann out of the second half of Thursday's preseason finale. However, it seems safe to assume that he's healthy for opening night after practicing Saturday.

Mann will not return to Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to right heel soreness, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Mann started Thursday's game and finished with three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist in 13 minutes. The Thunder won't take any risks with his health in a preseason game and will hold him out for the remainder of Thursday's preseason finale.

Mann (personal) will not play in Monday's Summer League game against the Spurs, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

Mann missed Saturday's game against the Pacers, and the personal matter will also keep him out of Oklahoma City's Summer League finale. In his two appearances in Vegas, Mann averaged 9.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.0 block per contest.

Mann is out for Saturday's Summer League action against the Pacers due to a personal matter, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Mann, the No. 18 pick in the 2021 draft, has appeared in two Summer League games. In 28.1 minutes, he's averaged 9.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks.
