Cason Wallace Wallace will be reevaluated before the playoffs

Justin Martinez
Cason Wallace (labrum) will be reevaluated before the end of the season.
Analysis: We expected as much since Shams had mentioned that both Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace had a possibility of coming back before the playoffs. Now its official from Thunder reporters. Cason Wallace just signed his extension with the Thunder for 139M over 5 years. It's a good thing for fantasy owners that he signed that extension since he likely wasn't getting as much money and commitment from the Thunder had he waited till this upcoming summer. |
Chet Holmgren Report: Holmgren (knee) out at least 8-10 weeks
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 3:02 PM
Tim MacMahon
According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, Chet Holmgren (knee) will be sidelined for at least 8-10 weeks.
Analysis: According to MacMahon, Holmgren underwent a biological treatment on Friday to address a small patellar tendon tear in his right knee. With Jalen Williams (ankle/fibula) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) facing extended absences, and given Holmgren's injury history, fantasy managers should expect the Thunder to be very cautious with his rehab process. Kenrich Williams should remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, and Aday Mara's playing time should increase. Also, Holmgren's absence raises Isaiah Hartenstein's fantasy ceiling. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren out again on Saturday vs Rockets
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 12:25 PM
Brandon Rahbar
Chet Holmgren (knee) is listed out on Saturday against the Rockets.
Analysis: He hasn't played since October 25th against the Clippers, so that will make it three straight missed games. Kenrich Williams has been starting in his absence, but he hasn't played starters minutes. If Hartenstein is available in your league, he's worth a look. |
Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (ankle) remains out Saturday vs. HOU
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 12:23 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Caruso will miss a second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. The Thunder signed Ochai Agbaji on Friday to add wing depth, and he may play rotation minutes immediately. |
Ochai Agbaji Shams: Ochai Agbaji signed by Thunder
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 8:18 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Ochai Agbaji has been signed to the Thunder's final roster spot.
Analysis: Agbaji will fill out Oklahoma City's depth, and with Jalen Williams (leg), Alex Caruso (ankle) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) all out, Agbaji could see some rotation minutes immediately. He's only worth an add in deep leagues. |
Jalen Williams Jalen to be re-evaluated prior to end of season
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 1:25 PM
Tim MacMahon
Jalen Williams (fibula, ankle) underwent successful surgery and will be re-evaluated prior to the end of the season.
Analysis: Williams had only played three games this season before going down over the weekend and underwent successful surgery today. It would be a big boost to the Thunder if Jalen Williams were to return this season but the Thunder don't have any reason to rush him back unless he's fully ready to go. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (knee) remains out Wednesday vs. DAL
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Unfortunately, Holmgren sitting out Monday's win over the Suns wasn't solely because it was Oklahoma City's second game in as many nights. Kenrich Williams moved into the starting lineup and played 24 minutes against Phoenix; he should fill a similar role on Wednesday. |

Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (ankle) ruled out Wednesday vs. Dallas
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 11:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Caruso sprained his right ankle during Monday's win over the Suns and did not return. Oklahoma City's depth has taken significant hits over the last 48 hours, and Caruso's absence likely means that two-way contract rookie Josh Dix will once again play rotation minutes. He played 22 minutes on Monday and went scoreless. |
Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein posts 15/13/3 line vs. Phoenix
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 5:19 PM
Isaiah Hartenstein accounted for 15 points (6-of-7 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 13 rebounds and three assists in Monday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: With Chet Holmgren (knee) sitting out Monday's game, Hartenstein was the lone 7-footer in the Thunder starting lineup. He recorded his second double-double in as many nights, and iHart's ability to play both games of Oklahoma City's back-to-back is encouraging. He appeared in 47 games last season, and injuries also contributed to Hartenstein's minutes dropping by more than three per game. He's looked healthy so far, which is critical with the Thunder losing Jalen Williams (ankle/leg) for the season on Sunday. |
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander notches 26 points vs. PHX
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 5:19 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Monday's win over the Suns with 26 points (11-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one three-pointer.
Analysis: In the aftermath of the injuries to Cason Wallace and Jalen Williams, some may have expected Gilgeous-Alexander to shoot until his arm fell off. That didn't happen, as the reigning MVP got his points while also trusting his teammates. SGA recorded just three assists, but he shot the ball well and notched his second consecutive games of 25 points or more. Oklahoma City plays two more games in Week 2, starting with the Mavericks on Wednesday. |

Thunder PR
Alex Caruso (ankle) will not return Monday vs. Suns.
Analysis: Caruso went to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury after Dillon Brooks accidentally fell on him. The Thunder are already dealing with injuries in the guard position, so it's worth monitoring over the next few days. |

Cason Wallace Cason Wallace (shoulder) set to undergo surgery
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 12:10 PM
Nick Crain
Cason Wallace will undergo surgery to repair a left labrum tear.
Analysis: Wallace had already been ruled out for Monday's game following an early exit on Sunday, but it now appears the injury is going to keep him sidelined a while longer. The hits just keep coming for OKC, with Jalen Williams (leg) set to have surgery as well. Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain will both take on significant roles until Wallace and/or Williams return. |

Jalen Williams JDub suffered fractured fibula, dislocated ankle
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 12:07 PM
Brandon Rahbar
Jalen Williams has suffered a fractured fibula and a dislocated ankle.
Analysis: Williams's injury was gruesome, and this diagnosis confirms it. General manager Sam Presti said a timeline will be provided following the surgery, but at this time, it's unclear exactly how long he'll be out. However, given the severity, it's safe to say it will be a lengthy absence for him. Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell should both take on larger roles with Cason Wallace (shoulder) set to undergo surgery as well. |
Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams (wrist) not on injury report Monday
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 9:02 AM
Jaylin Williams (wrist) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Williams played only five minutes in Sunday's win over the Clippers before he left and didn't return with a sore wrist. Off the injury report Monday, Williams should be more involved with Chet Holmgren (knee) ruled out. |
|
Cason Wallace Cason Wallace (shoulder) out Monday vs. Suns
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 8:57 AM
Cason Wallace (shoulder) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Wallace left Sunday's game with a shoulder injury and didn't return. He'll subsequently miss Monday's game against the Bucks. Ajay Mitchell is certainly a candidate for more minutes and potentially a starting spot with Wallace sidelined. |
|
Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (knee) out Monday vs. Suns
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 8:45 AM
Chet Holmgren (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Holmgren is dealing with right patellar tendonitis. Isaiah Hartenstein stepped up with 12 points and 12 rebounds in the win over the Clippers Sunday while Holmgren had a relatively quiet game with 10 points and four rebounds. Hartenstein should see even more usage with Holmgren out Monday against the Suns. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein grabs 12 rebounds vs. Clippers
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:12 PM
Isaiah Hartenstein recorded 12 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in Sunday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: After recording two underwhelming stat lines in Oklahoma City's first two games of the season, Hartenstein posted a double-double on Sunday. His play helped offset Chet Holmgren's quiet night at the office (10 points, four rebounds, one steal, one block and two three-pointers), helping push Oklahoma City's record to 3-0. Hartenstein also played 27 minutes, an encouraging number given his limited minutes last season. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores game-high 34 points
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 3:57 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 34 points (13-of-26 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: On a night when he saw three teammates leave the game with injuries, Gilgeous-Alexander carried the Thunder in the third quarter. The reigning MVP scored 16 of his 34 points in the period, shooting 7-of-11 from the field. SGA went cold in the fourth, but his teammates provided enough help to keep Oklahoma City undefeated. The Thunder play three games in Week 2, starting with the Suns on Monday. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (leg) exits during fourth quarter
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 3:22 PM
Jalen Williams exited late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Clippers after suffering a serious left leg injury.
Analysis: Williams suffered a serious left leg injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, with team doctors applying an air cast before taking him off the court on a stretcher. He'll miss an unknown amount of time, but the Thunder forward is likely looking at a lengthy absence. Jared McCain replaced Williams in the Thunder lineup. |

Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 2:21 PM
Nick Gallo
Cason Wallace (shoulder) will not return vs. Clippers.
Analysis: Wallace headed to the locker late in the first quarter after running into an Isaiah Jackson screen. This is something for fantasy managers to monitor as the Thunder play the Suns on Monday. |
