Caruso checked into this game with 3:01 left in the first quarter, and he checked back out with 2:39 left in the first after spraining his left ankle. Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe should take on extra minutes for the rest of this game with Caruso unavailable.
Dort missed Sunday's game against Portland due to some soreness in his right knee, but it won't keep him out of the lineup against Golden State. He should return to the starting unit, which would send Aaron Wiggins back to the bench.
Joe missed their last two games, but he should be back in the lineup against the Blazers. Aaron Wiggins and Alex Caruso took on extra minutes in his absence, and they may return those roles for another game with Luguentz Dort sidelined.
After playing 36 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over Utah, Wallace was back in the starting lineup on Thursday. Unfortunately, his night ended prematurely, heading to the locker room after a fourth-quarter collision with Kyrie Irving. The Thunder did not make any announcement regarding the injury or its severity but don't be surprised if Wallace lands on the injury report for Sunday's game against Portland. Aaron Wiggins (nine points, three rebounds, and one assist in 28 minutes) will likely be next in line if Wallace cannot play.
Wallace will return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in their last game. Aaron Wiggins logged 23 minutes as the starter on Wednesday, but he will come off the bench in this one.
