Thunder wing Hamidou Diallo not with team, to miss Dubs, Blazers tilts

Recovering from a hyperextended right elbow, Oklahoma City Thunder wing Hamidou Diallo will miss games against the Warriors and Trail Blazers after not traveling with the team.

Oklahoma City Thunder wing Hamidou Diallo will miss at least the team’s next two games, having not traveled with the team as they make a short west coast road trip.

Diallo, who hyperextended his right elbow in the final frame of the franchise’s 130-127 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on a LeBron James drive to the basket, was expected to miss Monday night’s matchup with the Warriors after injuring an arm operated on in 2018.

The Kentucky product can now be safely ruled out of Wednesday night’s match against the Portland Trail Blazers as well, reports the Oklahoman’s Joe Mussatto, as it would be highly unusual for the Queens native to travel to Oregon on his own for the match.

Diallo’s timetable to return to action is at present unknown, but for now, the very earliest fans can expect to see the 6-foot-5 guard in action again will be when the Thunder host the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, Nov. 29th.
