Victor Oladipo: Remains away from team

Oladipo is still contending with back spasms, which have prevented him from
traveling to join his teammates on the road this week. With him missing a
fifth-straight game Friday, Alex Abrines figures to continue to start at
shooting guard, where he’s impressed in Oladipo’s absence. While Oladipo’s next
chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Mavericks, it’s probably more
likely he remains in Oklahoma City with Tuesday’s game versus Portland in mind.
