Paul George missed the Thunder’s first preseason game Wednesday due to personal reasons, but will be available to play in Minnesota on Friday.
George was back at Thunder practice Thursday following the death of his girlfriend’s father this week.
George’s girlfriend, Daniela Rajic, posted an Instagram story which included childhood photos which read “RIP Daddy” and “Forever Daddy’s little girl.” Another photo showed a pair of George’s signature shoes with the message “RIP DEDI” written on the strap and multiple signatures.
Thunder coach Billy Donovan said that Abdel Nader (left knee soreness) didn’t practice Thursday and will not play against Minnesota.
