Receives light minutes in return
Dieng (calf) tallied three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one assist across seven minutes in Friday's 117-116 win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Available to play for the first time since Dec. 19 following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain, Dieng was needed to round out the Oklahoma City rotation while the Thunder were without seven players due to injury. Most of Dieng's appearances this season have come at the end of blowout games or when the Thunder have been down multiple key rotation pieces, so he could see his minutes disappear in Sunday's game against the Heat if one or more of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Chet Holmgren (shins) and Cason Wallace (toe) return to action after sitting out Friday.

Omitted from injury report
Dieng (calf) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Memphis, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Analysis
Dieng is available to return from a seven-game absence with a right calf strain. He's averaged 12.5 minutes per game over 17 outings this year, and Dieng could see some decent run for the depleted Thunder on Friday.

Won't play Wednesday
Dieng (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis
Dieng is still dealing with a right calf strain and will remain sidelined Wednesday. He should be considered doubtful ahead of Friday's game against Memphis until the Thunder provide an update on his status.
