Dylan Harper Not on Injury Report for Game 4
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (adductor) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 20-year-old injured his right adductor in Game 2 and was tagged as questionable for Game 3 on the initial injury report. He was cleared to play before the game, logging 17 minutes off the bench. It was one of Harper's worst postseason outings, as he managed only six points with a 2-for-7 effort from the field. Harper has the potential to be much better on Sunday night. He has averaged 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 steals in the playoffs.

De'Aaron Fox Off the Injury Report Ahead of Game 4
San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has not been listed on the injury report ahead of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is a pleasant surprise after Fox missed the first two games of the series due to a right ankle sprain. He looked sharp in his return to action on Friday night in Game 3, picking up 15 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 31 minutes. While it was a bit alarming to see Fox leave the game briefly after seemingly re-aggravating his injury, it apparently wasn't a major issue. Fox is poised for a busy night on Sunday as the Spurs try to even the series in front of their fans.

Jalen Williams Questionable for Sunday Night
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. He is considered day-to-day due to a left hamstring injury and didn't play in Game 3. With the Thunder's bench erupting for 76 points on Friday, the team did just fine without Williams in Game 3, securing a 2-1 series lead. As a result, the reigning champions have no reason to hurry Williams' return. Ajay Mitchell (calf) started in Williams' place but has been ruled out for Game 4, potentially giving Jared McCain a new opportunity to shine after his 24-point performance on Friday night. Cason Wallace also benefits from the injury situation.

Devin Vassell Posts 20 Points in Game 3 Loss
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell posted 20 points, seven rebounds, two assists, four steals, and three three-pointers in Friday's 123-108 Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 25-year-old shot 6-for-12 from the field and 3-for-6 from deep while logging 36 minutes, giving San Antonio another useful two-way line despite falling behind 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals. Vassell has now scored 20-plus points in back-to-back games, and his perimeter shooting remains a key fantasy-friendly piece of San Antonio's offense as the Spurs try to even the series in Game 4.

De'Aaron Fox Struggles From Deep in Friday's Loss
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox recorded 15 points, seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one three-pointer in Friday's 123-108 Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 28-year-old returned to the starting lineup after missing the first two games of the Western Conference Finals with an ankle sprain, logging 31 minutes in the loss. He shot 7-for-14 from the field but went just 1-for-6 from deep, so the balanced line was more encouraging than the scoring total. Fox's workload is the key takeaway for fantasy managers, although his perimeter lift remains worth watching in Game 4.

Victor Wembanyama Held to Four Rebounds in Game 3 Loss
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama scored a team-high 26 points in Friday's 123-108 Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, going 8-for-15 from the field, 2-for-5 on threes, and 8-for-10 at the line. The Defensive Player of the Year added four rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two blocks, but the rebounding total stands out. Oklahoma City made a concerted effort to keep him off the glass and largely succeeded, holding him to four boards after he piled up 24 in the Game 1 win. He still led all five San Antonio starters in scoring, with Devin Vassell chipping in 20. Wembanyama remains a do-everything fantasy anchor, but the Thunder's game plan has dragged his counting stats below the ceiling he flashed to open the series.

Jaylin Williams Catches Fire From Deep Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams provided 18 points, five rebounds, one assist, two steals, and five three-pointers in Friday's 123-108 Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs. The 23-year-old shot 5-for-7 from the field and 3-for-3 at the line, giving Oklahoma City a major lift during a night when its bench produced a franchise playoff record 76 points. Williams averaged only 7.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists during the regular season, so this was a major scoring spike. His stretch-frontcourt shooting gives Oklahoma City another rotation wrinkle entering Game 4.

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.

Rudy Gobert Earns Eighth All-Defensive First-Team Selection
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was once again recognized for his defensive prowess on Friday, earning his eighth NBA All-Defensive First Team selection. He was joined by Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs), Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City Thunder), Ausar Thompson (Detroit Pistons), and Derrick White (Boston Celtics). Kevin Garnett, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Gary Payton share the NBA record with nine NBA All-Defensive First Team selections. Gobert has also been named once on the All-Defensive Second Team, giving him nine selections overall. Only five players in NBA history have received the recognition at least 10 times, with Tim Duncan holding the all-time record at 15.

Victor Wembanyama Headlines 2025-26 All-Defensive First Team
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama will head into Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night knowing he has been named to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team for the second time in his career. He also earned the honor during his rookie campaign in 2023-24. The French star didn't make the cut last year after appearing in only 46 games. This season, Wembanyama was the only unanimous selection for the All-Defensive First Team. It doesn't come as a surprise, given that Wembanyama was also named the first-ever unanimous Defensive Player of the Year this season. Wembanyama led the NBA in blocks for a third consecutive campaign, swatting away 3.1 shots a night. Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves), Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City Thunder), Ausar Thompson (Detroit Pistons), and Derrick White (Boston Celtics) were also named to the All-Defensive First Team.

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.

Dylan Harper Available for Game 3 Against Thunder
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (adductor) will suit up on Friday for Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was initially considered questionable for the contest after Harper injured his right adductor in Game 2. With De'Aaron Fox (ankle) back in the fold, Harper will likely return to a bench role. However, this won't affect his fantasy value much. Even as a reserve, Harper has been one of San Antonio's most productive players in the playoffs. He has averaged 14.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in 26.8 minutes per game during his first career postseason campaign.

De'Aaron Fox Returns to Action Friday
San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) will rejoin the lineup on Friday night in Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The star guard missed the first two games of the series due to an ankle injury. According to reports, Fox is dealing with a pretty bad injury that would keep him out of regular-season games. It will be interesting to see how effective he will be in Friday's contest. Fox has averaged 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in 33.3 minutes per game during the playoffs. He will presumably reclaim his starting spot, bumping Dylan Harper (adductor) to the bench.
