Thunder's Cason Wallace: Could become full-time starter
Wallace is the most likely replacement for Luguentz Dort in Oklahoma City's starting lineup after Dort was traded to the Hawks in mid-July, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN.
The Thunder traded Dort, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe in cost-cutting maneuvers this offseason, leaving increased playing time available for the likes of Ajay Mitchell, Jared McCain and Wallace. The 22-year-old started 58 of his 77 regular-season appearances in 2025-26 due in large part to Jalen Williams (hamstring) missing significant time, and with Dort out of the picture, Wallace has a strong chance to carve out a full-time role in the starting lineup in the 2026-27 campaign. He averaged 9.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 steals across 27.7 minutes per game in his 58 starts last regular season.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Participating in practice
Hartenstein (ankle) participated in an offseason workout with the Thunder on Monday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Hartenstein sat out FIBA qualifiers with Germany to nurse an ankle injury he sustained earlier this summer, so it's encouraging to see him back on the court ahead of training camp in the fall. The 28-year-old big man appears to be firmly on track for the start of the regular season in October, barring any setbacks along the way.

Thunder's Aday Mara: Shines in FIBA qualifier
Mara registered 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Spain's 108-106 loss to Greece in Monday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
Mara led the club in boards Monday and scored an efficient 15 points. Although the prospect of a larger role diminished once Isaiah Hartenstein re-signed with the Thunder this offseason, the door is still open for Mara to have an impressive camp and seize an Opening Night role. The rookie No. 12 overall pick is set to battle with Jaylin Williams for the backup center gig.

Thunder's Aday Mara: Scores 12 points Friday
Mara recorded 12 points (3-8 FG, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 19 minutes during Spain's 95-89 loss to Portugal in Friday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
The 21-year-old was selected by Oklahoma City with the 12th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and will enter training camp competing with Jaylin Williams for the backup center role behind Isaiah Hartenstein. Mara's 7-foot-2 frame, passing ability and shot-blocking give him considerable long-term upside, but the Thunder's depth could make consistent playing time difficult to find during his rookie campaign.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Sitting out for Canada
Gilgeous-Alexander will not participate in Canada's upcoming World Cup qualifiers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
There is no injury to report, and this is simply a case of Gilgeous-Alexander prioritizing rest ahead of the upcoming NBA season. With training camp about a month away, the superstar is expected to be a full go for the Thunder.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Managing ankle injury
Hartenstein (ankle) won't play for Germany during this summer's FIBA 2027 World Cup Qualifiers, per Eurohoops.net.
The 28-year-old center is erring on the side of caution ahead of the NBA regular season, opting to sit out the international competition. It doesn't sound like there's much concern regarding his availability for the start of training camp in the fall, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on Hartenstein's status until then.

Thunder's Aday Mara: Ready for rookie year
Mara is set to contend with Jaylin Williams for the backup center job behind Isaiah Hartenstein during training camp.
The possibility of a bigger opportunity went by the wayside once Hartenstein re-upped with the Thunder this offseason, but the door is still open for Mara to have an impressive camp and stake a claim for an Opening Night role. The rookie No. 12 overall pick averaged 9.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game over five Summer League appearances.

Thunder's Jared McCain: Could be more involved
According to Bryan Toporek of Forbes, the Thunder's decision to part with Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort creates a clearer path for McCain to earn immediate rotation minutes.
Even so, the guard is a part of a deep backcourt that includes Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Ajay Mitchell, so McCain's playing time will likely depend on how effective he is from beyond the arc. His perimeter shooting and scoring ability could give him a chance to carve out a meaningful role early in the season.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Importance grows for Thunder
According to Bryan Toporek of Forbes, Oklahoma City's offseason roster shakeup opened additional opportunities for Mitchell (calf) and others in the backcourt after the departures of Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort.
Mitchell had a breakout campaign in his second NBA season and could earn a larger role in 2026-27. However, he'll still have to compete with Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Jared McCain for consistent playing time. Mitchell's continued development as a secondary playmaker could determine whether he becomes a reliable fantasy contributor.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Larger role incoming?
According to Bryan Toporek of Forbes, Oklahoma City's offseason salary-saving moves resulted in the departures of Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort.
Caruso's defensive versatility and championship experience should make him an even more valuable part of the Thunder's rotation, though he'll continue to share minutes with Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and rookie Jared McCain. Caruso's fantasy value should remain strongest in leagues that reward defensive production.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Could see larger role
According to Bryan Toporek of Forbes, Oklahoma City's decision to trade Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort was driven largely by financial considerations, creating a larger opportunity for Wallace entering 2026-27.
Wallace has already established himself as one of the Thunder's top perimeter defenders, and he could take on a more prominent offensive role while continuing to split backcourt minutes with Alex Caruso, Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain. Wallace's all-around game will give him plenty of intrigue late in fantasy drafts.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: To have more responsibility
Holmgren could be in line for an even larger offensive role after Oklahoma City's offseason roster shakeup, according to Bryan Toporek of Forbes.
The Thunder moved Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort primarily for financial reasons, thinning the supporting cast around Holmgren, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams. Holmgren should remain an elite fantasy option thanks to his combination of scoring efficiency, floor spacing and shot-blocking.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Role unlikely to change
Gilgeous-Alexander's outlook remains mostly the same despite Oklahoma City's busy offseason, according to Bryan Toporek of Forbes.
The Thunder's decision to trade Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort was driven largely by financial considerations. The reigning MVP should continue to dominate the ball offensively, while the continued development of Cason Wallace, Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell should help offset some of the club's lost depth.
