The Oklahoma City Thunder are playing host to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday with each time submitting lengthy injury reports ahead of this contest.

The Thunder are without Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Ajay Mitchell - three key pieces to its rotation. Oklahoma City has also tabbed superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as questionable with a wrist sprain and Jalen Williams with the same designation due to a hip strain.

On Friday against the Dallas Mavericks, Gilgeous-Alexander missed his first game of the season. Their status remains up in the air.

The Brooklyn Nets will see its best scorer in street clothes as Cam Thomas remains out.
