Oklahoma City Thunder

Chet Holmgren

C

Holmgren is battling the flu and is a late scratch for this contest. With Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out, the Thunder will need Jaylin Williams to soak up a hefty workload Saturday which makes him a solid streaming option in fantasy.

Isaiah Hartenstein

C

Hartenstein tweaked his left calf during Wednesday's win over the Knicks, and he'll now miss Saturday's game, which should open up minutes for Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams. Hartenstein's next chance to play will come Monday versus the Nuggets.

Alex Caruso

G

Caruso suffered a hip injury during Wednesday's win against the Knicks. The injury will prevent the veteran point guard from playing Saturday, and he'll look to recover enough to return for Monday's game against the Nuggets. Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain and Aaron Wiggins are all slated for a bump in minutes in Caruso's absence.

Branden Carlson

C

This will be the fifth consecutive game on the inactive list for Carlson, and it's not encouraging that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. For now, he should be viewed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Ajay Mitchell

G

Mitchell will miss a 20th straight game while recovering from an abdominal strain and left ankle sprain. His next chance to play is Monday against the Nuggets, though the Thunder have not provided an updated recovery timeline for the 2024 second-rounder.

Jalen Williams

G

Williams is still recovering from a right hamstring strain and is without a clear timetable for a return, though the expectation is that he'll be re-evaluated soon. The star forward should be considered doubtful for future contests until Oklahoma City provides an update on his progress.

Thomas Sorber

C

Sorber was selected No. 15 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft out of Georgetown by the reigning NBA champions. The rookie center was already dealing with a foot injury that cut his season with the Hoyas short and kept him out of the Summer League. Now he'll likely have to wait until the 2026-27 campaign to make his debut on the professional level.
