Hawks' Luguentz Dort: Shines for Canada
Rotowire
Dort recorded 25 points (8-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Canada's 97-92 win over Argentina in Monday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
The 27-year-old will begin a new chapter in 2026-27 after being traded from Oklahoma City to Atlanta during the offseason. Dort averaged just 8.3 points per game last regular season, and he'll join a deep Hawks perimeter rotation that also features Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, CJ McCollum and Buddy Hield. Dort's defense should earn him consistent playing time, but the competition for shots is expected to limit his fantasy ceiling.

Hawks' Luguentz Dort: Traded to Atlanta
Rotowire
The Thunder traded Dort to the Hawks on Sunday in exchange for three second-round picks as part of a three-team deal with the Mavericks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Thunder picked up the defensive-minded swingman's $17.7 million team option in June but are now flipping him for draft capital. The Hawks will receive Dort and Ryan Nembhard (illness), while the Mavericks acquire 2024 No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher. Dort's production took a fairly significant hit in 2025-26, during which he averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting just 38.5 percent from the field in 26.8 minutes per game across 69 regular-season appearances. He figures to play significant minutes thanks to his defensive prowess, though he could come off the bench behind Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Team option picked up
Rotowire
The Thunder picked up Dort's $17.7 million team option Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Thunder are already heavily into the tax, but the franchise has every intention of getting back to the NBA Finals, and this was a priority for the team. Dort averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting a career-low 38.5 percent from the field in 26.8 minutes per game across 69 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, but his defense is invaluable.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Scores three points in Game 7 loss
Rotowire
Dort ended with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and one rebound over 16 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to San Antonio in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
Dort logged fewer than 20 minutes for the third time over the final four games of the Western Conference Finals and failed to make a positive impact on the offensive end in his limited run Saturday. The 27-year-old swingman remained a mainstay in the Thunder's starting five in 2025-26, though his production took a significant step back. Dort averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting a career-low 38.5 percent from the field in 26.8 minutes per game across 69 regular-season appearances. The Thunder hold a $17.7 million team option on Dort's contract for 2026-27, creating some uncertainty around his future in Oklahoma City.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Scoreless in win
Rotowire
Dort logged zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 123-108 win over San Antonio in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
While Dort has had a muted impact on the offensive end throughout the postseason, he failed to score for the first time in the 2026 playoffs. The defensive-minded swingman logged a series-high 23 minutes Friday, but given the strong play of Jared McCain and Cason Wallace, Dort could continue seeing a reduced role, especially if Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Ajay Mitchell (undisclosed) are both available for Game 4.

Dort recorded six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 108-90 win over the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Dort's usage was very low in Game 1, but that's to be expected in the postseason. Through five playoff games, Dort has been very quiet with averages of 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists on 36.7 percent shooting from the field.

Rotowire
Dort (undisclosed) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Utah.
Dort suffered an undisclosed injury during Thursday's 139-96 win over the Lakers. However, it must not have been that big of an issue, considering he's not listed on the official injury report. With Dort in the rotation, Ajay Mitchell, who would have been in line to start, will continue to see work from off the bench.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Drains four threes
Rotowire
Dort racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.
Dort didn't stand out for the Thunder, but his three-point shooting was worth highlighting. Even though he's going to take on a secondary role offensively every night, Dort could still generate value as a spot-up shooter from three-point range. Dort has drained two or more threes in five of his last eight games, although he's been far from efficient with a 29.8 percent mark in that span.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Dealing with left knee injury
Rotowire
Dort has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to a left knee contusion.
Dort was originally slated to play Saturday after being held out of Wednesday's win against the Nets due to rest purposes. It's unclear when the seventh-year pro sustained his left knee injury, but his absence means Cason Wallace will likely start in a second straight game. Dort's next chance to play is Monday against the 76ers.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Ejected Friday
Rotowire
Dort was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. He'll finish with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes.
The swingman was ejected after making unnecessary and excessive contact with Nikola Jokic, as Dort tripped the three-time MVP. With Dort unavailable, Alex Caruso and Jared McCain will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Rotowire
Dort ended with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 victory over the Cavaliers.
Despite sizable workloads, Dort continues to leave a lot to be desired in fantasy hoops. Over his last five outings, Dort has seen 29.0 minutes per contest, but he ranks outside the top-200 in nine-category formats in that span with 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.
