The Thunder announced Sunday that Kendrick Perkins had an MRI that confirmed he suffered a right hip muscle strain in Game 4 against the Mavericks. He’s listed as day to day and his return to play will be based on his progress and recovery in the coming days.
Perk appeared to just tweak his hip early in the first quarter and did not return to the game.
With the Thunder sweeping the Mavs they will await the winner of the Nuggets-Lakers series. The Thunder will have about a week off guaranteed, with potentially nine days of rest, which could be big in getting Perk healthy for the second round.

@MisterJohnsonOKC I don't know what kind of dental procedure she is having, but I had major oral surgery at the age of 3 and I came through all right. Daily Thunderers have your back. Everything will be fine.

@ThunderChick2010 I think Scotty has used that line in the huddle during time outs.
@MisterJohnsonOKC Everything will be fine!
Must. Have. Bolts.
So if LA is able to win Tuesday, would the game be Sat or Sun? I would predict Sun for the Prime TV time and to allow LA to prepare. It looks like the age of LA (Kobe) is really starting to show.
I'm hoping for Sunday. We've got graduation going on Saturday and I'm quite sure Mother of the Year would be hopelessly out of reach if I skip out for a Thunder game. :)
@ThunderChick2010
Went to graduation Saturday and many of the grads had sayings or pictures on the top of their mortar boards. One I saw had "Thunder Up."
@CDSpark Good to see their priorities are straight!
Is this thing working today?
@ThunderChick2010Was wondering the same thing.
I mean . . . how often do we go 7 hours without a comment???
@dancassidy35 It is! :) Good luck to you!
@ThunderChick2010 Well it must be mighty nice not to have exams :)
@ThunderChick2010
Most are probably in the "hung over" status or woke up and said "Crap I got to go to work!!!"
Had a dream when Brooks yelling "A STOP! A STOP! A STOP! A STOP! A REBOUND!! A STOP! A REBOUND!'" into my face
I'm drunk. What am I supposed to watch now??
@duhsweetness
C-SPAN might be semi-interesting in your state. :)
@duhsweetness barkley & shaq
@MD4Okc I am, but damn it. I need more basketball.
@duhsweetness on those nights i fall asleep watching nbatv gametime on repeat. sometimes that's the closest you can get :(
I have to believe that if we get KD, Russ & Harden on all cylinders we are good for the remainder. Ibaka, Perk, and Thabo can be less than perfect and we would still prevail. Bring on the Lakers (or whomever)!!!!

@MisterJohnsonOKC DTers will keep a good thought for your daughter. Hang in there, it's hard for us all!
@MisterJohnsonOKC If Perk was healthy i would agree but not this time.
All of a sudden, I'm remembering why I hate the Denver franchise.
@duhsweetness Its tough to be fan of a team that loses in the first round every year.
@ThunderWins I hate them for what they did to the 94 Sonics.
@duhsweetness I still cry when I think about that tragedy!
Gallonari with 2me back to back flops that weren't called (thank goodness/dang it) that led to two wide open back to back 3 that cost his team the game. Boy am i glad we don't have any floppers on this team.
@ElMexiThunder I don't know man. Westbrook has been getting to that point when he throws his hands in the air when he gets to the rim. The reason it's starting to agitate me is because he'd usually complain to a ref instead of getting back on D when he doesn't get the call
@ElMexiThunder i think we exaggerate at times instead of flopping.
but ssssshhhhhhh i didn't say that
If Perk misses time, can we just go super small?
If Perk is gone - Andrew Bynum will take us to the woodshed...
We dont have anyone that can mark him
@Thunder S Not against the Lakers. Yes against everyone else.
Fuck u Blake! Bring on LA!!! I can't wait to whoop that ass
Well that sucks.
Lakers cant hit 3s what is going on?
@ThunderWins When a defense collapses on Bynum, they live the like's of Session's and Blake open in around the arc. I hope Westbrook doesn't fall for that trap and stay's on them. This all depends on Perk. I hope he is healthy for this series against the Lakers. We're going to need him big, so he can play one-on-one against Bynum and have Westbrook stay on Sessions and Fisher on Blake.
@thelaughingwiseman That is Perk's true value. 1vs1 on the post up bigs.
@ThunderWins *leave
FUDGE!!!!!!!!
God damn you, Steve Blake.
Go Fuggets!!!!!!
I'd love Denver to win, LA is tired, too bad they can't rebound !!
@LPCes99if denver wins its a series if not lakers win 4-1
I wonder if Portland realizes what they lost when they traded away Andre Miller.
@Watson They got rid of Andre and got a player they don't want any more LOL
@ThunderWins @Watson They lost the definition of a savvy veteran
