What happened: The group out against Oklahoma City includes Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson, CJ McCollum, Onyeka Okongwu and Aaron Wiggins on rest. Keshon Gilbert (left patella tendinitis), Mouhamed Gueye (left foot fracture) and Henri Veesaar (torn right ACL) carry injury designations.

Why it matters: The preseason finale usually settles rotation order before opening week of the 2026-27 season. Extended absences shift those minutes to camp invites and two-way candidates fighting for spots.

What to watch: The Thunder matchup will show which reserves handle closing minutes. The next availability update sets the opening-week rotation.
