Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins is still listed as day-to-day after sustaining a hip injury during Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

An MRI on Sunday confirmed that Perkins suffered a right hip muscle strain.

Monday afternoon, Oklahoma City Head Coach Scott Brooks said he has not talked to Perkins but that he was with the medical staff and is still listed as day-to-day based on his progress and recovery in the coming days.

When asked if Perkins would play if there was a game five tonight, Brooks reluctantly responded "probably not."

The Thunder completed the four-game sweep of the Dallas Mavericks, the defending World Champions on Saturday with a 103-97 victory to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
