Kalkbrenner finished Saturday's 125-121 loss to the 76ers with 14 points (7-7 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.

Over two games thus far, Kalkbrenner has missed only one field-goal attempt (12-13 FG) in his 53 combined minutes. The rookie out of Creighton has been the starter in each of those contests, and he'll look to keep up his solid start to the 2025-26 season against the Wizards on Sunday night in D.C.

Jokic notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 assists, 14 rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes in Saturday's 133-111 win over the Suns.

Jokic stuffed the stat sheet, recording his second triple-double in as many games. The superstar took limited shot attempts but led all players in assists and rebounds, while also tying the team high in steals in the blowout win. Jokic has totaled 35 points, 27 rebounds, 25 assists and four steals while shooting 41.9 percent from the field across 72 minutes through two regular-season games.

Hartenstein had 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Saturday's 117-100 win over the Hawks.

Hartenstein scored in double figures for the first time this season. He also finished as the Thunder's second-leading rebounder en route to his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. Through three regular-season games, he's averaging 8.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.3 minutes per contest.

Okongwu tallied 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during the Hawks' 117-100 loss to the Thunder on Saturday.

Okongwu got the start at center for a second straight game due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness). Okongwu put together a solid stat line, logging his first double-double of the season while leading the Hawks in rebounds. He would be in line to start again Monday against the Bulls if Porzingis is not cleared to return.

Holmgren recorded 31 points (8-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block over 27 minutes during the Thunder's 117-100 win over the Hawks on Saturday.

Holmgren got off to a hot start with 14 points in the first quarter before closing things out with eight more points in the fourth. He led the Thunder in scoring for the first time this season and has logged a double-double and at least two steals in back-to-back games. Holmgren has opened the 2025-26 regular season connecting on 56.1 percent of his field-goal attempts while averaging 24.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals over 35.0 minutes per game.

Holmgren (hand) started the second half of Saturday's game against the Hawks, per the broadcast.

Holmgren exited to the locker room in the second quarter after appearing to hurt his hand on a block attempt. However, he's back on the floor and should be good to go for the remainder of the game.

Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Williams is still recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee he underwent in March and has yet to make his season debut. His next opportunity to play will come in Monday's game against the Lakers.

Holmgren exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent hand injury in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Hawks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Holmgren attempted to block a dunk but seemingly ended up hurting his hand before exiting to the locker room. If the 23-year-old is unable to return, Aaron Wiggins, Brooks Barnhizer and Jaylin Williams are candidates for a bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Hayes (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Hayes is in danger of missing his second straight game due to left knee soreness. If the big man is ultimately ruled out, Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Koloko are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Jackson won't start in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

With James Wiseman joining the starting five, Jackson will retreat to the bench. The 23-year-old center logged just eight minutes in Thursday's season-opening double-overtime loss to the Thunder, posting zero points (0-2 FG) and one rebound.
