McCain ended with 24 points (10-21 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Friday's 123-108 victory over the Spurs in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

McCain was fantastic in the win, scoring at least 20 points for the first time in the postseason. His role continues to grow, as he's logged at least 26 minutes in two straight games while providing the Thunder with an additional scoring threat off the bench. Over his past three appearances, McCain has averaged 14.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers.

Wembanyama finished with 26 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks across 39 minutes in Friday's 123-108 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Wembanyama combined for 41 boards in Games 1 and 2, but he cooled off significantly on the glass Friday while accumulating only four rebounds. With the Thunder now up 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals, both teams will meet for Game 4 on Sunday. Wembanyama did thrive as a scorer, and he'll likely need to turn in a similar caliber of performance on the offensive end in Game 4 on Sunday for the Spurs to have a chance to tie up the series at 2-2.

Fox (ankle) finished with 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 31 minutes in Friday's 123-108 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Fox missed the first two games of the series because of a high-ankle sprain. While the 28-year-old was able to play Friday, he had a tough time getting things going offensively and finished with one of his lowest-scoring performances of the postseason. With the Thunder taking a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals after the win, these teams will meet for a crucial Game 4 on Sunday. Considering Fox briefly exited Game 3 after aggravating the ankle issue, it wouldn't be surprising to see him pop up on the injury report. If he can't suit up, Dylan Harper would be the favorite to rejoin the starting lineup after starting Games 1 and 2.

Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 26 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 12-12 FT), 12 assists, two rebounds and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 123-108 win over the Spurs in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Gilgeous-Alexander didn't deliver his best shooting performance from inside the arc, though he frequently got to the charity stripe and finished with a game-high-tying 26 points. The two-time MVP also got his teammates involved, dishing out a game-high 12 assists en route to his second double-double of the 2026 playoffs. He'll aim to remain productive in Sunday's Game 4 in San Antonio, where the Thunder will look to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Mitchell (undisclosed) exited Friday's 123-108 win over the Spurs in Game 3 the Western Conference Finals and did not return, finishing with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes.

Mitchell got into an altercation with Devin Vassell and was assessed a technical foul with 8:19 remaining in the third quarter before checking out of the game. He later headed to the locker room and was not seen on the bench during the fourth quarter. It's unclear exactly what he's dealing with, but if Mitchell is forced to miss Game 4 on Sunday, Jared McCain, Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe would be candidates for increased playing time, especially if Jalen Williams (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Mitchell started for Jalen Williams (hamstring), who was ruled out ahead of tipoff. However, Mitchell suffered an undisclosed injury in the third quarter after logging only 17 minutes. If he's unable to return, Jared McCain and Cason Wallace are candidates to see extra minutes the rest of the way.

Harper (hip) won't start Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Thunder.

Harper started the first two games of this series in place of De'Aaron Fox (ankle). However, Fox has been cleared to suit up for Game 3 and will reclaim his place in the starting lineup. Still, Harper is expected to lead the bench in minutes, assuming he's healthy enough to do so after exiting and not returning to Game 2 on Wednesday.

Mitchell will start Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

With Jalen Williams (hamstring) sidelined, Mitchell will return to the first unit in San Antonio. Over six starts this postseason, the second-year guard has averaged 21.2 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest.

Harper (hip) is available to play in Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus Oklahoma City.

The rookie guard started the first two games of the series in place of De'Aaron Fox (ankle). Harper had 24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and seven steals in Game 1. While the rookie played well in Game 2, he didn't finish the contest due to injury. With Fox available Friday, Harper will presumably head back to the bench, although he should still see plenty of minutes, assuming he is healthy enough for a full workload.

Fox (ankle) is available for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder.

Fox missed the first two games of the series due to a lingering right ankle issue, though he'll return to action in San Antonio as the club looks to take a 2-1 series lead. Over 11 appearances this postseason, the star guard has averaged 18.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.3 minutes per showing. His return will likely result in Dylan Harper, who's been cleared to play through a hip injury, moving back to the second unit.
