Chet Holmgren, who suffered a Lisfranc fracture and subsequent surgery, is the only player on the OKC Thunder injury report.
Josh Giddey returned to the lineup against the Magic, allowing Mark Daigneault to start the four players he prefers.
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Aleksej Pokusevski, or another Thunder big man could fill that spot, given his proclivity for rotating big men.
