Injuries could play a large part in determining who wins the Western Conference finals. Both the Suns and Thunder have key players injured in what has been a highly competitive series that is currently tied 1-1. The state and severity of those injuries could tip the balance.
San Antonio eked out Game 1 win in double overtime, before Oklahoma City turned the tables with a 122-113 victory at home in Game 2. During the latter contest on Wednesday night, both teams saw players leave the game and not return. The Spurs lost Dylan Harper, who was starting in place of the injured De'Aaron Fox. The Thunder lost Jalen Williams in the first quarter, but managed to win without him. It might be tough to do that again.
