Alex Abrines (eye injury) returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, per Thunder coach Billy Donovan. Abrines took shots before and after practice and was able to participate in some drills. Donovan expects the shooting guard will be available for Thursday's game against the Celtics at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
"But I also am cautious from the standpoint that because he didn’t do everything today I’ll find out a lot more tomorrow morning," Donovan said. "But he’s trending in that direction."
Abrines missed practice on Tuesday after receiving an inadvertent blow to the head from Nerlens Noel in the second quarter of the Thunders’ 131-120 loss to the Kings Sunday.
