Cason Wallace Injury Update
Cason Wallace is dealing with a left knee injury. He is not a long term out at this stage. He hurt the knee after playing heavy minutes in a double overtime win against the Houston Rockets. Reports describe it as a sprained left knee.
The injury showed up right after that game where he logged more than forty minutes and filled the box score in points rebounds assists and steals.
The Oklahoma City Thunder first listed him as questionable for the next game against the Indiana Pacers. Later updates ruled him out for that Pacers game because of the same knee issue.
With him sidelined the Thunder needed more minutes from guards like Luguentz Dort and Aaron Wiggins along with Ajay Mitchell.
Team coverage has described the situation as a short term setback. There has been no sign of major structural damage in public reports so far.
The language around his status points to a day to day type injury instead of a long multi week absence.
Wallace has already been cleared to return once after missing a game which shows the knee responded to early treatment. He came back and played at least one game after that with a solid all around line before leaving another contest early to be evaluated again. The plan now is simple
The staff will monitor how the knee reacts to treatment and practice work before each game. For now his outlook is cautious but not alarming.
He is expected to keep a rotation role once he is fully cleared again since the Thunder depend on his defense and efficient guard play.
Anyone tracking his status should keep an eye on the official Thunder injury report and trusted beat reporters on game days for the latest word.
