If Oklahoma City’s New Year resolution was to get healthy, they’re already well on their way.
Per Maddie Lee of The Oklahoman, Billy Donovan announced Tuesday night that Dennis Schroder, Danilo Gallinari, and Hamidou Diallo will all be available against the Dallas Mavericks.

Schroder and Gallinari have both been dealing with ankle soreness. Schroder missed Sunday’s win over the Raptors after experiencing soreness in his right ankle following Friday’s win over Charlotte.
Gallinari didn’t even make the recent road trip with the Thunder. He has missed the last four games with left ankle soreness that he first felt in pregame prior to Oklahoma City’s win over the Clippers.
The best injury update from Tuesday, however, might be the return of Hamidou Diallo. Diallo missed the last 17 games for the Thunder after suffering a hyperextended right elbow in OKC’s loss to the Lakers back on Nov. 22.
The initial timetable for Diallo was four-to-six weeks.
Donovan said that all three will play without a minutes restriction on Tuesday night.
None have minutes restrictions, Donovan said. https://t.co/oCMsPcjdZO

The Thunder heads back out on the road to start the New Year, going to San Antonio on January 2.
