Thunder guard Hamidou Diallo was reevaluated Thursday and diagnosed with a left ankle sprain, according to the Thunder – an encouraging sign considering his reaction to an injury against the Warriors on Wednesday.
With about 7:23 left in the fourth quarter, the rookie landed awkwardly on his left ankle and leg, having to leave the game on a stretcher as a result. Following the game, the Thunder said Warriors physicians ruled out any severe lower body injuries for Diallo.
The Thunder said Diallo will be reevaluated in seven to 10 days, meaning he will at least miss games against Charlotte (Friday), Denver (Saturday) and Cleveland (Wednesday).
