Joe is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Hornets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Thunder rested several regulars in the 133-100 win over the 76ers on Wednesday, but they'll play something closer to their regular first unit, meaning Joe will return to his regular bench role. The former Arkansas star has played off the bench most of the season, averaging 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.5 steals per game when deployed in the second unit.

Joe will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe will make his 13th start of the season for the Thunder as the team deals with injuries and star players sitting for rest purposes. In his previous 12 starts, the 25-year-old guard averaged 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 41.6 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from deep.

Joe posted 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 121-105 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Luguentz Dort (hip) sat this game out and is day-to-day, presumably. Aaron Wiggins usually leads the second unit in usage, but he was dealing with an illness and saw just 19 minutes. Joe hasn't shot the ball well over his last seven games with a 38.3 percent mark from the field, but he's been productive with 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.4 three-pointers.

Joe will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe got the spot start during Friday's win over Portland due to all of the club's usual starting five being sidelined. The 25-year-old has averaged 9.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 18.2 minutes per contest over his last five outings.

Joe is in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe will make his 12th start of the season Friday as six Thunder players -- including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) and Cason Wallace (knee) -- ruled out due to injury. Joe has averaged 8.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 19.4 minutes per game since the beginning of February.

Joe (back) is available for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the past two games for the Thunder, Joe is expected to be back in the rotation Wednesday. Aaron Wiggins (thumb) is questionable to play, so Joe could see a healthy workload potentially -- Chet Holmgren (leg) is sitting out Wednesday as well.

Joe (back) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Joe is in danger of missing a third straight game as he continues to nurse soreness in his back. Oklahoma City will already be shorthanded in the backcourt with Alex Caruso (ankle) ruled out, so if Joe doesn't play, the team will be in a tough spot and will likely have to look to Aaron Wiggins to pick up the slack.

Joe (back) will not play Monday against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Joe will miss a second consecutive game for the Thunder and remains day-to-day. Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins will offer slightly more upside in the short term as a result.

Joe (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Joe was one of two OKC players who departed Friday's win over the Hawks due to an injury, with Chet Holmgren (ankle) being the other, and the back tightness will prevent Joe from playing Sunday. His next chance to play will come Monday against the Rockets in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Joe will not return to Friday's game against Atlanta due to lower-back tightness, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe was not on the floor for the start of the third quarter, and he has been ruled out for the rest of the contest due to a back injury. It's unclear whether the injury is severe enough to put him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Spurs. Joe will finish the night with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt) across 11 minutes in the first half. Aaron Wiggins should see a significant uptick in playing time off the bench in the second half due to Joe's absence.
