Cason Wallace Out for Thunder with Quad Contusion
Cason Wallace, a point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, is dealing with a left quad contusion. He will not play in the upcoming game against the Charlotte Hornets on December 28th. This injury marks the first time Wallace has been sidelined this season.
What It Means
Wallace’s absence will impact the Thunder’s rotation at point guard. His current season stats include an average of 6.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. He also has a shooting percentage of 42.5% from the field.
With Wallace out, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will likely take on more responsibility as the primary point guard. Ajay Mitchell might see increased minutes as well. The team will need to adjust their strategy without Wallace’s contributions on both ends of the court.
