Oklahoma City Thunder · 4 notes
Oklahoma City rookie Otega Oweh is out for the season. Kenrich Williams, after practice: "Yeah, it sucked. Like, it just like gives you a bad feeling... especially for a guy like him, like rookie, like was playing, was playing pretty good."
We wanted to see him with the returning rotation players
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.
Not sure what happened there, but it looked like a daunting situation.
Otega Oweh was the first thing Rick Carlisle addressed after Indiana's overtime game in Oklahoma City on Oct. 13. The Pacers coach sent prayers: "Not sure what happened there, but it looked like a daunting situation." He gave no update on Oweh's condition.
And now it's just a matter of getting him the time.
Otega Oweh has the intelligence and physical tools of a "prototype wing defender," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said at practice. "And now it's just a matter of getting him the time." His fouling, Daigneault said, comes from getting out of position.
