Fantasy Impact
This is a shame for the fantasy managers who thought the second year pro was starting to find a niche on his new team. Coming off of his third 10-day contract, the Thunder decided to move on from Diakite. In the 24 games played for his former club, the sophomore averaged 4.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 14.5 minutes per game.
