Chet Holmgren and Ousmane Dieng will have visitors in the infirmary of the Thunderbecause Aleksej Pokusevsky joins his two teammates for the next six to eight weeks.
As announced in the night, the Serb suffers from a fracture of the tibial plateau of his left leg. A setback, when he had his best career season so far: 8.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 against average (44% on shots and 38% at 3-pts).
In the absence of Aleksej Pokusevski, mainly used at 4/5 positions, we can expect Kenrich Williams, Darius Bazley, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl or even Mike Muscala to recover his 22 minutes on average.
