Hamidou Diallo will miss his third straight game on Tuesday.
Billy Donovan announced the decision a little over an hour before tip-off against the Lakers, at around 8:15 p.m CT.
No Hamidou Diallo tonight (left knee soreness), per Billy Donovan. Third consecutive missed game for Diallo. Andre Roberson also out.

Diallo was first held out of Friday’s win over the 76ers with left knee soreness. He suffered an injury during the Thunder’s loss to the Pacers last week, however, no details about how or when the injury occurred has been made available.
According to The Oklahoman, Donovan had said on Friday that he didn’t expect Diallo to miss much game time.
“We don’t think it’s going to be a thing that requires him sitting out for a long stretch,” Donovan said.
In 10 games this season, Diallo is averaging 8.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 22 minutes per game while shooting 50% from the field.
Oklahoma City wraps up their two-game West Coast road trip Tuesday night against the Lakers. The Thunder fell 90-88 to the Clippers inside the Staples Center on Monday.
