February is an exciting month for NBA fans. On Feb. 20, the annual All-Star Game will showcase the league's top talent in Cleveland after several days of run-up events and festivities.But first, on Thursday, Feb. 10, comes another headliner: the 2022 trade deadline. Fans each year find themselves feverishly refreshing social media and hoping for a blockbuster bigger than the latest Marvel movie.Will the Thunder get in on the action?Thunder general manager Sam Presti is never shy about transactions, and is likely to make one or more this week.

In fact, many trades on the table wouldn't involve adding a player at all.Instead, look for Presti to seek draft picks in exchange for Thunder players.

But on Friday in Portland, while putting up another 23 points, Dort sustained a facial injury that sidelined him for the team's Saturday loss in Sacramento.When he returned Monday, at home for a matchup with Golden State, it was with a new look."He's playing in a mask, and he looks awesome,"
