George Hill (thumb) out for Thunder through All-Star break

Oklahoma City Thunder guard George Hill (thumb) is still in a hard cast and will be for another 1-2 weeks, per head coach Mark Daigneault.

What It Means:

Hill hasn't played since January 24 and he will not be back until at least after the All-Star break. The Thunder are reportedly looking to move Hill's contract before the March 25 trade deadline, so he may have played his last game for the team. Ty Jerome should continue to be the first guard off the bench for the Thunder if Hill and Hamidou Diallo (groin) are out. Jerome logged 30 minutes on Saturday in his second NBA game and scored 15 points (6-of-12 field goals) with 1 rebound, 2 assists, and 3 3-pointers.

Jerome is averaging 1.0 FanDuel points per minute with a 16.8 percent usage rate and 27.9 percent assist rate through two appearances.
