Ajay Mitchell has been a huge part of this year’s Thunder team, stepping into the void left by Jalen Williams’s injury-related absences to provide secondary scoring alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. But now, Mitchell is dealing with an injury of his own.
After leaving Game 3 of OKC’s win over the Spurs on Friday night, the Thunder have ruled Mitchell out for Game 4 with a right calf strain. It’s a scary injury to be dealing with given the rise of Achilles tears in the playoffs recently, and Oklahoma City is clearly playing it safe in ruling Mitchell out over 24 hours before Game 4 tips off.
