Luguentz Dort Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Luguentz Dort said he called Nickeil Alexander-Walker right away after learning of his July trade from Oklahoma City, according to Thunder Wire's Clemente Almanza. The two were high school teammates and longtime competitors, and Dort said Alexander-Walker has helped him adjust to Atlanta's style of play. Dort backed that chemistry Monday with 25 points on 8-for-13 shooting in Canada's 97-92 qualifying win over Argentina, while Alexander-Walker added 26. Still, Dort is coming off a quiet NBA season, averaging 8.3 points on a career-low 38.5 percent shooting. With Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels also in Atlanta's perimeter mix, Dort's fantasy value remains tied mostly to steals, threes, and defensive minutes.

The Atlanta Hawks have acquired guard/forward Luguentz Dort from the Oklahoma City Thunder, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The 2025 All-NBA Defensive First Team selection will move to the Eastern Conference in a three-team deal. As part of the transaction, the Hawks also added guard Ryan Nembhard from the Dallas Mavericks and sent forward Zaccharie Risacher to Texas. The move was a financial decision for the Thunder, who only recently picked up a $17.7 million team option on Dort's contract. As an elite defender, Dort will be a valuable contributor in the Hawks' rotation, but his fantasy value could take a hit if the Hawks use him off the bench behind Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have picked up the $17.7 million team option for forward Luguentz Dort, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The transaction keeps Dort with the Thunder, the only team he's played for in his professional career. There was some uncertainty about Dort's future with the franchise due to salary cap concerns and a down statistical season. The 27-year-old shot 38.5% from the field and 34.4% from three last season, averaging just 8.3 points. However, the Thunder's front office traded away wings Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe, further opening the door for another year with Dort.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort recently said that his main goal is to remain with the organization. His future with the organization is up in the air, with Dort having a $17.7 million team option for next season. Dort has been with the team since entering the league in 2019. His overall stats took a hit last season, but he has been a consistent option for this team for many years. This past season, Dort averaged 8.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 26.8 minutes per game in 69 contests. There could be a handful of suitors for Dort if he does hit free agency this summer.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (knee) won't play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. The 26-year-old will sit out the back end of a back-to-back due to right knee inflammation. OKC will be shorthanded tonight, with only eight players available to suit up. Fantasy managers should expect the teams' depleted rotation to rely on players like Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins to log a significant amount of minutes this evening in San Antonio.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (foot) won't play on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Dort is dealing with a sore left foot and will miss his 10th game of the season. The 26-year-old Canadian could see action versus the Rockets, barring any setbacks on Thursday. While Dort is sidelined during tonight's tilt, Ajay Mitchell will likely see more minutes and could be an excellent option for fantasy managers.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (adductor) is ready to end a three-game absence on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns, as the team has not listed him on the injury report. Dort has appeared as a starter in all 15 outings this season and will likely bump Jaylin Williams to the bench on Wednesday night. Dort recorded a season-high three steals in this season's first meeting with the Suns. Due to poor shooting, he has made a limited impact offensively in 2025-26. Dort is averaging 8.0 points per game, which is his lowest output since his rookie campaign in 2019-20.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (shoulder) will play on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. He didn't play the best before going down with the injury, averaging 7.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals while shooting 19.4% from behind the arc. Hopefully, the five-game layoff will allow him to get back on track for fantasy managers. If anything, his presence could make life more difficult for Collin Sexton, Tre Mann, and others. However, with Dort back on the floor, Ajay Mitchell, averaging 18.2 points, 2.2 steals, and 46.7% shooting from behind the arc in five starts this season, may have trouble matching that same level of production, especially if he comes off the bench.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (trapezius) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets and is at risk of missing his sixth straight contest. Through seven games, Dort is averaging 7.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steal in 31.9 minutes while shooting just 31.5% from the field and 19.4% from three. With Aaron Wiggins (left adductor) also out, Oklahoma City has leaned more on Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, and Isaiah Joe on the wing. Dort is a tough hold in standard formats while his shot is this cold, but in deeper leagues, he remains a viable stash or steals streamer if he is cleared and continues to see heavy minutes.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is out for Tuesday against the Warriors, marking his fourth straight missed game since getting hurt against the Clippers. Before the injury, Dort was averaging 7.1 points, five rebounds, 1.6 assists, and one steal across nearly 32 minutes per contest, though his shooting had dipped to 31.5 percent from the field and 19 percent from deep. With him sidelined, Cason Wallace continues to start on the wing and offers strong nine-category appeal for his steals, efficiency, and low turnovers. Isaiah Joe remains a pure three-point streamer, while Ajay Mitchell provides short-term value for assists and scoring in deeper formats. Alex Caruso, who is now healthy, is another solid defensive streamer who chips in steals and threes. Until Dort returns, expect Wallace and Joe to benefit most from the increased workload.
