In their injury report ahead of Tuesday's showdown with the Spurs, the Thunder have listed Lu Dort as out due to a sore left foot.

Dort has been listed as questionable initially, and it ultimately landed him on the team's inactive list.

Without Dort, the Thunder will mainly rely on Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Jalen Williams in defending their perimeter. As such, Ajay Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins are set to obtain increased minutes.

Dort appeared in 31 games so far this season, averaging 8.2 points in a career-worst 38.4 percent shooting along with 3.7 rebounds in nearly 27 minutes of play.
