It will be a skeleton screw for the Thunder when they face the Grizzlies on Friday. They have already ruled out Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Chet Holmgren (shin), Isaiah Hartenstein (calf), Cason Wallace (toe) and Jaylin Williams (heel). Alex Caruso (back) is also questionable. That leaves Ajay Mitchell as the team’s second-best scoring option behind Jalen Williams. Over 10 games in which Mitchell has played at least 30 minutes this season, he has averaged 17.3 points. He has a path to at least 35 minutes Friday, making this over appealing.
