The Oklahoma City Thunder are short on regulars against the Sacramento Kings, but Derrick Favors isn’t one of them. Joe Mussatto confirmed that Favors would play on Saturday night after missing eight of the Thunder’s past nine games with a back injury.
Derrick Favors will also play tonight. He's sat in eight of the last nine games.
Favors hasn’t been a meaningful offensive contributor for the Thunder this season, averaging just 5.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. Those stats have dragged his Offensive Box Plus/Minus down to -2.
