Victor Oladipo: Uncertain to play Sunday vs. Pelicans

After sitting out Friday’s win over the Lakers with back spasms, Oladipo was
able to do some shooting as part of a light non-contact practice Saturday, but
coach Billy Donovan noted afterward that the shooting guard wouldn’t have
participated had the team went through a full practice. That seemingly doesn’t
bode well for Oladipo’s chances of suiting up Sunday, but the Thunder will wait
and see how he performs in morning shootaround before making a ruling on his
status. In the event Oladipo is sidelined, Alex Abrines, who scored a
career-high 19 points and drilled five three-pointers in 29 minutes Friday,
would likely picked up a second straight start at shooting guard.
