Ousmane Dieng delivered a mixed performance against the Mavericks, scoring 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting while contributing seven rebounds, six assists, and two steals. Despite inefficiencies from the field, Dieng’s playmaking stood out, leading the Thunder in assists during his 35 minutes on the court. With two solid preseason games under his belt, Dieng is positioning himself for potential regular season opportunities, though a consistent role in Oklahoma City’s rotation remains uncertain.
