So far this season, the Thunder have a record of just 20 wins and 44 losses, ranking 14th in the West. But the Thunder have a couple of young players who are still doing very well. For example, team leader Alexander, 2021 No. 6 showgidi, but also including Dort, once known as the "Harden Terminator". This makes many fans optimistic about the future of the Thunder. Recently, however, the Thunder have suffered a massive wave of injuries.
Today the Thunder officially announced that 3 players, Dort, Muscala and Jerome, all successfully underwent surgery today.
Dort is 22 years old and 193cm tall, and is the 2019 NBA draft. The Thunder used him in the team only as a spare tire, and did not expect that after Ferguson's injury, Dort quickly took the position. In the 2019-2020 playoffs against the Rockets, Dolt limited Harden well and scored 30 points in Game 6. Although the Thunder were eventually eliminated, Dort has been worth it ever since. Dort has suffered a shoulder injury this season and has missed eight consecutive games so far. Today Dort underwent surgery to repair a tear in the lip muscle on his left shoulder.
Muscala was selected by the Hawks with the 14th pick in the second round in 2013 as an outside battery. At 2.11 meters tall, he shoots 37.7% from three-point range in his career. But due to poor defense, Muscala has not been able to be reused. So far in his career, he has been involved in the Hawks, 76ers, Lakers, and Thunder. Today Muscala underwent arthroscopy of the right ankle and repair of the lateral ligament.
Jerome was selected with the 24th pick in the first round of 2019 and has played for the Suns and Thunder so far in his career. Today underwent surgery for a sports hernia. According to the Thunder's official announcement, Dort and Muscala are reimbursed for this season, while Jerome is expected to be out for 8 weeks.
