Thunder's Victor Oladipo: Could miss final two games of road trip

Coach Billy Donovan suggested that Oladipo (back) could be at risk of missing road games Friday against the Suns and Sunday against the Mavericks, Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

Oladipo didn't make the trip to Portland with the Thunder ahead of Thursday's loss to the Trail Blazers, and it seems rather unlikely that he'd travel solo and join the team in Phoenix on Friday for the second half of the back-to-back set. Donovan noted Thursday that Oladipo is "still having the spasms" in his back, so flying in an airplane may not be a good idea for the shooting guard until he demonstrates some improvement. Alex Abrines has started in Oladipo's place the last four games, averaging 12.3 points (on 53.1% shooting from the field), 3.3 three-pointers and 1.5 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per contest.
