The same three Oklahoma City Thunder players who missed the game against the Los Angeles Lakers will also be unavailable against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, the Thunder game notes Thursday evening said.
Wing Terrance Ferguson, center Mike Muscala and guard Dennis Schroder will all be unavailable.
Ferguson will miss another game with lower right leg injury. He did not play in either of the last two games and only managed four minutes against the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
Muscala is still in concussion protocol after getting injured against the Denver Nuggets on Monday.
Schroder remains at home. His wife gave birth Wednesday, the ESPN game broadcast said, and head coach Billy Donovan said Thursday that there is no timetable for his return.
Center Steven Adams was not listed on the injury report, but after taking a fall and briefly coming out of the game Wednesday for his lower leg to be evaluated, Donovan was asked about the center’s health Thursday.
Donovan said he expects Adams to play Friday.
He should be fine to play tomorrow, I don’t anticipate there being any problems there,” Donovan said. “There’s always some bumps and bruises but I think he’s in a good place physically.”
Memphs will be without Jaren Jackson Jr., (left knee meniscus tear), Tyus Jones (right knee soreness) and Justise Winslow (left hip displacement).
The Thunder-Grizzlies game tips off at 3 p.m. on Friday.
