Dennis Schroder questionable with right ankle soreness against Mavericks

Schroder missed Sunday’s win over the Raptors due to right ankle soreness. He is averaging 25.4 points over his last five games.

Dennis Schroder’s status for the Thunder’s 2019 calendar year finale is still uncertain.

Schroder is listed as questionable for Oklahoma City’s game on New Year’s Eve against the Mavericks.

Schroder missed Sunday’s win over the Raptors due to a sore right ankle. It was the first game that he had missed all season.

How he suffered the injury in Friday’s game against the Hornets is still unclear. Prior to injuring his ankle, Schroder had averaged 25.4 points, 5.0 assists, and 4.4 rebounds over his last five games.

Schroder has been an integral part of the Oklahoma City offense this season, embracing his role as the one of, if not the, best sixth man in the league.

Over his last ten games, Schroder is averaging 23.2 points per game and shooting 49.7% from the field.

He was named the Western Conference Player of the Week on Dec. 23 for his play during Oklahoma City’s four-game win streak from Dec. 16 through Dec. 22.

The Thunder will tip against inside Chesapeake Energy Arena at 7 p.m. against the Dallas Mavericks.

Tuesday night is Oklahoma City’s lone home game before they head back out for a four-game road trip.

Dennis Schroder out Sunday due to ankle soreness

Schroder will miss his first game of the season Sunday due to right ankle soreness. He is averaging 23.3 points over his last ten games.

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.

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”.

Oklahoma City tips off against the Raptors at 5 p.m. CT.

WATCH: Saquon Barkley on idea of being shut down for season: ‘It won’t happen.’

Reigning NFL Rookie of the Year Saquon Barkley is continuing to deal with an ankle injury, but he insists he has no plans to sit and rest the lower limb.

The Giants season is far from a winning one as the team sits at 2-8. Reigning NFL Rookie of the Year Saquon Barkley is continuing to deal with an ankle injury, but he insists he has no plans to sit and rest the lower limb or to nurse a new shoulder injury that required an x-ray following Week 10’s game.

Barkley missed weeks four, five and six then returned to action. Sunday, though, the star was all but eliminated from Giants 34-27 loss to the Jets (2-7) — he gained merely one yard on 13 attempts.

Tuesday, Barkley made it clear that the idea of him shutting things down for his health is far from one he likes.

“The mindset of sitting me out and resting me for the rest of the season is beyond me,” Barkley said, via Jordan Raanan of ESPN. “I do not agree with it. It won’t happen. I’m going to keep going until I can’t go no more. That’s the player I am and I’m going to do it for my teammates.”

Barkley averages a poor 2.6 yards per attempt since returning from his ankle sprain and the upper body issue makes him weaker than his norm from top to bottom, but expect the competitor to keep playing.
