Ankle soreness seems to be a common problem in Oklahoma City these days.
Dennis Schroder is the latest member of the Thunder to be sidelined due to the injury.
Following OKC’s 104-102 overtime win in Charlotte on Friday night, the team announced Saturday that Schroder was suffering from right ankle soreness and would not play on Sunday in Toronto.
Dennis Schröder (right ankle soreness) is listed as out for the Thunder’s game at Toronto tomorrow. He was questionable with the same injury at Charlotte yesterday but played 35 minutes and scored 24 points.

Schroder scored 24 points in the win over the Hornets, hitting on 10 of his 17 shots from the field, including three 3-pointers.
Over his last ten games, Schroder is averaging 23.2 points per game and shooting 49.7% from the field.
Sunday’s game will be the first that he has missed all season.
Danilo Gallinari has also been struggling with ankle soreness that has kept him out for the last week. Gallinari initially suffered the injury to his left ankle during warmups prior to OKC’s win over the Clippers on Dec. 22.
He did not come with the Thunder on their current road trip, a move Billy Donovan called “precautionary”.
