Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Posts Lowest-Scoring Night of His MVP Season
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander managed just 15 points (6-for-18 FGs, 3-for-3 FTs), one rebound, and four assists in Thursday's 118-91 Game 6 loss to the Spurs. The back-to-back MVP went 0-for-5 from deep and finished a game-worst minus-28, his quietest offensive night of the entire 2025-26 season. The series has followed a clear script: when Wembanyama outscores Gilgeous-Alexander, San Antonio wins, and Game 6 was no exception. None of that dents his outlook. A Game 7 at home is the reset spot, the 0-for-5 from three reads as noise, and OKC will run everything through him as the season hangs on one game.

Thomas Sorber is Optimistic About Playing in Summer League
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Thomas Sorber (knee) missed all of the 2025-2026 season while recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee. He was the 15th overall pick in last year's draft, but only made it through a few workouts before suffering a season-ending injury. Sorber is reportedly progressing well and believes he'll be ready to play during the upcoming Summer League. Sorber continues to work hard and take part in team workouts. It sounds like he's doing everything right and will hopefully be able to contribute next season. His overall fantasy value will be dependent on where he shakes out in the rotation.

Ajay Mitchell Ruled Out for Game 6
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs. Mitchell will miss another contest with a right soleus strain, leaving Oklahoma City without a guard who averaged 13.6 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals during the regular season and 15.1 points with 4.3 assists through his first 11 playoff appearances. With Jalen Williams (hamstring) also sidelined, Jared McCain and Alex Caruso should continue handling extra rotation work after helping Oklahoma City take a 3-2 series lead in Game 5. McCain carries the cleaner short-term fantasy appeal after making his first playoff start and scoring 20 points Tuesday.

Jared McCain Produces 20 Points in First Playoff Start
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain made a big impact in his first career playoff start on Tuesday night, scoring 20 points in a 127-114 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Initially, McCain struggled in his new role, netting only two points in the first half, but he looked like a different player after the break. The 22-year-old also bagged three rebounds in the contest, though his efficiency was poor at 7-for-19 from the field and 3-for-9 from downtown. McCain has recorded two 20-point games since the Thunder lost Jalen Williams (hamstring). His role has also increased due to Ajay Mitchell's (calf) absence.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores Game-High 32 Points in Game 5 Win
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 32 points as the team went up 3-2 in the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs with a 127-114 victory on Tuesday night. For the second time in the series, the Spurs limited Gilgeous-Alexander to under 40% from the field, but he was 16-for-17 at the free-throw line. Overall, Gilgeous-Alexander finished 7-for-19 from the floor, including two of three three-pointers. The back-to-back MVP missed a double-double by one assist and recorded two rebounds, two steals, and one block. In addition to struggling with efficiency, Gilgeous-Alexander turned the ball over six times and will need to limit these mistakes as the Thunder look to finish the series in Game 6 on Thursday.

Jared McCain Moves into Starting Five
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain will move into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs. McCain will make his first start of the series with Ajay Mitchell (calf) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) both ruled out. The Thunder are looking to bounce back after losing Game 4. They'll shake up their lineup and insert McCain over Cason Wallace. Between the two, McCain has more scoring potential, but Wallace is better defensively. McCain could be an interesting DFS option with him moving into the starting unit on Tuesday.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Held Under 20 Points in Game 4
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 19 points, four rebounds, seven assists, and two steals in Sunday's 103-82 Game 4 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The 27-year-old went 6-for-15 from the field and 7-for-7 at the free-throw line, but Oklahoma City's offense never found much traction as the series was tied at 2-2. The Thunder shot only 33.0 percent from the field and 18.2 percent from three-point range, both season-worst marks, so Gilgeous-Alexander's assists and steals softened a rare, muted scoring night more than his efficiency did.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama Lead All-NBA First Team
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama headline the 2025-26 All-NBA First Team, which was announced on Sunday. They are joined by Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets), Luka Doncic (Los Angeles Lakers), and Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons). For Wembanyama, this marks his first All-NBA Team selection. He has been named to the All-Defensive Team twice. Before him, Kawhi Leonard was the last Spurs player named to the All-NBA First Team, earning the honor in 2016 and 2017.

Ajay Mitchell Won't Play Sunday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (calf) won't be in the lineup on Sunday in Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been diagnosed with a right soleus strain after playing just 17 minutes as a starter in Game 3 on Friday. Mitchell was filling in for Jalen Williams (hamstring) in the starting unit. It's unclear whether Williams will be ready to return on Sunday, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. If Williams remains sidelined, Jared McCain and Cason Wallace will compete for the starting role. Both players performed well off the bench on Friday night and should draw significant fantasy attention on Sunday.

Jared McCain Drops Playoff-High 24 Points in Game 3
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain scored a playoff career-high 24 points in Friday's 123-108 Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs, going 10-for-21 from the field and 2-for-2 at the line in 27 minutes. The 22-year-old also chipped in four rebounds and one assist while posting a game-best plus-28. He struggled from deep at 2-for-10 but did his damage in the midrange and paint, helping anchor a 76-point bench outburst alongside Jaylin Williams, Alex Caruso, and Cason Wallace. With Jalen Williams (hamstring) sidelined and Ajay Mitchell (undisclosed) exiting early, McCain's role keeps expanding. He has logged at least 26 minutes in back-to-back games and is averaging 14.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 three-pointers over his last three outings.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Guides Thunder to 2-1 Series Lead
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 26 points, two rebounds, 12 assists, one block, and two three-pointers in Friday's 123-108 Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs. The 27-year-old shot only 6-for-17 from the field, but he went 12-for-12 at the line and helped Oklahoma City take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals. With Jalen Williams (hamstring) sidelined, Gilgeous-Alexander's playmaking carried extra weight, and the low-turnover passing line softened the inefficient shooting night for fantasy managers.

Ajay Mitchell Does Not Return in Game 3 Win
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (undisclosed) exited Friday's 123-108 Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and did not return, finishing with two points (1-for-5 on field goals, 0-for-1 from three-point land), five rebounds, and one assist in 17 minutes. The 23-year-old got tangled up with Devin Vassell, picked up a technical with 8:19 left in the third quarter, then headed to the locker room and was absent from the bench in the fourth. He had appeared to reaggravate a quad issue from Game 2. Mitchell drew the start in place of Jalen Williams (hamstring), so his health matters for the rotation. If he can't go Sunday, Jared McCain, Cason Wallace, and Isaiah Joe all stand to absorb additional minutes, with McCain the most intriguing after shooting 40 percent from three through the postseason.

Ajay Mitchell Starting Game 3 Against Spurs
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell will return to the starting lineup in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Mitchell has started six of the Thunder's 10 postseason games, but he had to settle for a reserve role at the start of the Conference Finals after Jalen Williams (hamstring) was cleared to return to the lineup. With Williams now back on the shelf, Mitchell will get a new opportunity to run with the starters. As a starter in the 2026 playoffs, Mitchell has posted averages of 21.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 steals.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Leads Thunder to Game 2 Victory WIth 30 Points
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led all scorers with 30 points in Wednesday's 122-113 Game 2 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. After making barely 30% of his field-goal attempts in Game 1, the back-to-back MVP finished 12-for-24 from the floor and 6-for-6 at the line. However, he still struggled from deep, going 0-for-3. Offensively, Gilgeous-Alexander also contributed nine assists, while grabbing four rebounds and picking up two blocks with one steal. This was Gilgeous-Alexander's fifth 30-point game of the postseason. Going forward, his offensive role might increase after Jalen Williams (hamstring) was hurt on Wednesday night.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Records First Double-Double of Postseason
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander logged his first double-double of the postseason with 24 points and 12 assists in Monday's Game 1 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. After picking up his second MVP award ahead of the game, Gilgeous-Alexander struggled to meet his usual high standards. He came alive in the fourth quarter, scoring 12 points to help the Thunder extend the game. Yet Gilgeous-Alexander cooled off again in overtime, posting only two points. The Canadian star went only 7-for-23 from the field and collected eight points from the free-throw line with nine attempts. His line included three rebounds, five steals, one block, and four turnovers. Oklahoma City needs Gilgeous-Alexander to be much sharper to avoid a 2-0 hole in the series on Wednesday.
