Sefolosha Out Tonight Against New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS — Thabo Sefolosha has been scratched from the lineup tonight against New Orleans.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks walked into the locker room at about 6:10 p.m. and pointed at Damien Wilkins before erasing Sefolosha’s name off the dry erase board that listed tonight’s matchups. Wilkins will get the start in Sefolosha’s place.
Jeff Green (back) and Kevin Durant (ankle) have also been ruled out tonight. Center Robert Swift is not with the team due to personal reasons. That leaves the Thunder with just eight healthy bodies, putting Brooks in a challenging position with the second of a back-to-back set coming Sunday night at home against Philadelphia.
“The guys who are going to have opportunities to play, we just want them to play hard when they get minutes, whether they get an extra five or six minutes or they’re getting an extra 20 minutes,” Brooks said. “We just have to play hard and play well and play together as a team. That’s all I can ask for from our guys.”
