Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Out for postseason opener
Rotowire
Dieng (calf) is out for Game 1 against the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Dieng missed the final 15 games of the regular season due to a calf problem, and that same injury will keep him out at the start of the playoffs. He's not expected to have a big role, even if he's upgraded to available in the future, so his fantasy upside will remain minimal, even in the best-case scenario. His next chance to play will come in Game 2 of the series Tuesday.
