Luguentz Dort

Luguentz Dort (born April 19, 1999; French: [dɔʁ] or English: DORT) is a Canadian professional basketball player for the Oklahoma City Thunder of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Arizona State Sun Devils. Dort joined the Thunder as an undrafted free agent in July 2019 and is the longest tenured player on the team. Highly regarded for his defense, Dort is nicknamed "the Dorture Chamber" and was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team in 2025, later winning the NBA Finals that same year. Dort completed his high school career at the Athlete Institute in Mono, Ontario, where he was rated as high as a five-star recruit and was one of the top high school players in Canada. In his first year with Arizona State, he earned second-team All-Pac-12 Conference honours and was named to the all-defensive team in the Pac-12. He was also voted the conference's freshman of the year.
