Perkins missed Friday's game against the Lakers with a left knee contusion and is considered day-to-day moving forward, The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

This injury flew under the radar with the news of Kevin Durant (ankle) missing Friday's game as well, although Perkins' injury is not believed to be serious and he has a serious chance to return against the Pelicans on Sunday. If he's unable to play, Steven Adams will likely absorb the minutes that Perkins is leaving on the court.
