Dunn ended Sunday's 127-118 overtime loss to the Kings with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 21 minutes.
ANALYSISDunn returned to action following a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, and with
Kevin Durant (ankle) sidelined, the rookie was thrust into a starting role. However, Dunn failed to capitalize on his third career start, as
Royce O'Neale (28) and
Grayson Allen (27) played more minutes off the bench. Regardless, with Durant sidelined for at least a few weeks, Dunn should maintain an increased role even if he moves to the bench, especially if
Bradley Beal (knee) is forced to miss time.
