Pargo has been ruled out from playing Friday against the Thunder due to lower-back soreness.

Analysis:

With only nine appearances on the season and an average of eight minutes per game in the contest anyway, there's a good chance Pargo wouldn't have gotten off the bench Friday even if fully healthy. He's strictly an insurance option at point guard behind Kemba Walker and Brian Roberts.
