Billy Donovan said he’s not keeping track of the days, but Luguentz Dort has made 45 a number worth circling in the Thunder organization.
Dort, in the latest of his surprising stretch of starts, scored a career-high 23 points Wednesday in Sacramento. Friday, he’ll play in front of a pseudo home crowd when the Thunder faces the Suns at 8 p.m. in Phoenix.
The Montreal native was suiting up for Arizona State this time a year ago. Dort averaged 16.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game for the Sun Devils. He declared for the NBA draft after his freshman season.
