Hamidou Diallo’s availability for Friday night’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers is in jeopardy.
Diallo was listed as questionable with a left knee sprain on the NBA injury report released at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
According to Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman, Diallo did not practice Thursday and “Billy Donovan will update Diallo’s status Friday evening before Oklahoma City’s 7 p.m. tip-off against the 76ers”.

No additional information about how or when Diallo suffered the knee sprain has been made available.
He made his first start of the season Tuesday at Indiana, in place of Terrance Ferguson, who did not make the trip due to a custody hearing.
In the Thunder’s 111-85 loss to Indiana, Diallo scored just two points and took only four shots in 22 minutes of game time.
For the season, Diallo is averaging 8.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 22 minutes per game while shooting 50% from the field.
The start was the fourth of Diallo’s career.
