Josh Dix

The Thunder started Josh Dix in the second half with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace and Aday Mara. "We wanted to see him with the returning rotation players," Mark Daigneault said. Otega Oweh was hurt in overtime, his second setback; no status given.

Josh Dix drew tough defensive assignments in the Thunder's Oct. 6 preseason game, and Mark Daigneault said he delivered: "he did the job." Daigneault said Dix's confident game matched how he had practiced in the days leading up to it.
