Alperen Sengun Ruled Out for Friday vs. Pelicans

Alperen Sengun has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to lower-back pain. The fifth-year center will look to progress in his recovery to return for Monday's game against the Lakers. Clint Capela is expected to enter the starting lineup in Sengun's absence, while Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard, and Kevin Durant are all slated to see increased responsibilities.
