The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Monday that forward Darius Bazley will miss the remaining eight games in the regular season due to a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture in his right knee. Bazley suffered the knee injury during Saturday’s game against the Denver Nuggets.
Bazley finished his third season averaging 10.8 points on 42.2 percent shooting, 6.3 rebounds and one block in 69 games.
With Bazley’s third season officially done, it’ll be interesting to see how the Thunder handle his future as he is extension eligible and will enter restricted free agency next summer if a deal is not met this offseason. Bazley’s tenure with the Thunder has been an inconsistent one but has looked better in recent months with a simplified role on offense.
