Oklahoma City Thunder wing Luguentz Dort and big man Mike Muscala underwent season-ending surgeries Tuesday.
The Thunder said guard Ty Jerome underwent a procedure to address a sports hernia and will resume basketball activities in about eight weeks, likely ending his season with the Thunder far removed from the playoff race.
Dort had a labrum tear in his left shoulder that had kept him out since Feb. 12. In 51 games (all starts) in his third NBA season, Dort averaged career highs of 17.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
Muscala required what the Thunder described as a successful arthroscopic procedure and additional lateral ligament repair on his right ankle. He hadn’t seen game action since Feb. 4.
The 30-year-old veteran appeared in 43 games off the bench for Oklahoma City, averaging 8.0 points and 3.0 rebounds over 13.8 minutes per game.
Jerome ended his third NBA season and second with the Thunder with averages of 7.1 points and 2.3 assists per game in 48 appearances (four starts).
