Thunder’s depth, normally a strength, has questions to answer after Game 4

OKC Thunder's Loss of Ajay Mitchell Is Cushioned by Depth

Ajay Mitchell (15 pts/game this postseason) is ruled out for Game 4 vs. San Antonio with a calf strain, leaving OKC's backcourt rotation uncertain alongside Jalen Williams' doubtful status. The Thunder's depth — Caruso averaging 21 pts in the series, McCain with 24 in Game 3, Wallace on All-Defensive Second Team — suggests roster resilience outweighs the individual loss.
