Thunder G Dennis Schröder exits game after hitting head

Guard Dennis Schröder exited the Oklahoma City Thunder’s preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night after hitting his head.

Schröder was trying to guard Sterling Brown in transition and fell backwards while trying to draw a charging call. The back of his head ended up hitting Paul George’s elbow:

Schröder exited the game after that. The Thunder then announced that he would be among the team’s players not to play in the second half of the game, though they said he is fine.

Dennis Schroder, Steven Adams and Paul George will all sit the second half. Schroder is fine, per the team.

Schröder is entering his first season with the Thunder. He was expected to be their sixth man for the season, though he will probably play tons of minutes early while Andre Roberson is out.
