Ducas (quadricep) recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes Friday in the Thunder's 145-111 win over the Jazz.
The two-way player made his first appearance at the NBA level or in the G League since March 21, after a left quad strain had kept him out for the last three weeks. Ducas typically hasn't been included in the rotation when available for the Thunder. Still, he was able to pick up double-digit minutes Friday due to Oklahoma City resting seven key regulars with minor injuries. With the Thunder having already secured the league's top record, expect more regulars to rest or play limited minutes in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Pelicans, leaving the door open for Ducas to see extended run.

Thunder's Alex Ducas: Unavailable Sunday
Rotowire
Ducas has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a right quad strain.
After appearing in only one of the Thunder's previous 13 games, Ducas has made two straight appearances at the NBA level, totaling 20 minutes during Oklahoma City's blowout wins over the 76ers and Hornets. Ducas' absence shouldn't have a major impact on the rotation, but the Thunder could be down two starters if Luguentz Dort, who's listed as questionable with a hip injury, joins Jalen Williams (hip) on the sidelines again.

Thunder's Alex Ducas: Enters rotation Wednesday
Rotowire
Ducas (back) logged 14 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 133-100 win over the 76ers, finishing with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal.
The two-way player made his first appearance at either the NBA or G League level since March 2 after recently missing time with a back injury. Ducas is averaging just 5.0 minutes per game over 18 appearances with the Thunder on the season. Still, he could see more opportunities at the NBA level over the final few weeks of the regular season while Oklahoma City occasionally looks to rest key players in advance of the playoffs.

Ducas (back) played the final 2:18 of Friday's 126-101 win over the Knicks, scoring zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and recording no other statistics during his time on the court.
One of Oklahoma City's two-way players, Ducas made his first appearance for either the NBA club or the G League's Oklahoma City Blue since Nov. 21, as he had been sidelined for nearly two months with a lower back sprain. Ducas will likely continue to find himself outside of the Thunder's rotation in competitive games, though he should see extended minutes during his stints with the Blue.

Rotowire
Ducas (hip) checked in during the fourth quarter of Sunday's preseason contest against the Spurs, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.
Ducas suffered a left hip sprain in early July, which caused him to sit out of Summer League. The 23-year-old out of Saint Mary's signed a two-way deal with the Thunder in late June after not being chosen in the 2024 NBA Draft. Ducas will likely spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 regular season with the G League's Oklahoma City Blue.
