Terrible emotional lift for Olivier Sarr. The Thunder just announced that the Frenchman was suffering from a ruptured Achilles tendon. Injury suffered Monday during the 3rd game of the G-League final against the Maine Celtics, after which the Blue (team affiliated with the Thunder) won the title.
A timetable for the return of the player on a two-way contract, who was visibly injured during a non-contact action, will be provided in the coming months. A real success story for him who contributed to his team's title, alongside MVP Ousmane Dieng. The French interior signed 10 points and 13 rebounds in the last game.
Olivier dreams of playing with Alexandre in blue
Nicknamed the “French G-League monster” by some, the Niort native averaged 14 points and 13 rebounds this season in the development league. His injury will prevent him from joining the Thunder and thus tasting the NBA playoffs.
This season, Olivier Sarr made 9 appearances with the first team, averaging around 2 points and 2 rebounds in a few minutes of play. He will have to wait a few months before being able to get back on track with his career. And to think that he dreamed of wearing the blue jersey with his brother Alexandre…
