Thunder's Alex Caruso: Feeling healthy
Caruso is feeling healthy at training camp, per Clemente Almanza of USA Today.
"I mean, Day 3 of training camp's the third-best day you're going to feel all year besides Day 2 and Day 1," Caruso said Friday. The veteran swingman made zero starts for the Thunder a season ago and has made three altogether since joining Oklahoma City in 2024-25, but he should at least remain a strong source of steals for fantasy managers in category-driven leagues for 2026-27. Despite never logging at least 30 minutes per game, Caruso has averaged at least one steal in each year of his career besides his rookie campaign.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Fully healthy for Thunder
Mitchell (calf) is healthy and participating fully in training camp after ending the 2025-26 season injured, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Head coach Mark Daigneault said Wednesday that Mitchell "got himself healthy" during the offseason and praised the guard's conditioning and overall form early in camp. Mitchell's unrestricted participation indicates he's moved past the calf injury that ended his 2025-26 campaign and should be available for Oklahoma City's preseason slate.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Drops weight ahead of season
Hartenstein dropped nearly 10 pounds ahead of the 2026-27 season, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Hartenstein has been a full go for several weeks after tweaking his ankle for Germany during the offseason. He's expected to play a similar role in 2026-27 and is fresh off a three-year, $75 million extension.

Thunder's Zhaire Smith: Signs Exhibit 10 deal with Oklahoma City
Smith signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Thunder on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
The 16th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, Smith is set to compete for a spot on Oklahoma City's regular-season roster. Over 49 G League outings between the Oklahoma City Blue and Texas Legends in 2025-26, he averaged 18.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks across 36.5 minutes per tilt.

Thunder's Robert McCray: Signs with OKC
McCray signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Thunder on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
McCray was previously on an Exhibit 10 deal with the Lakers, whom he joined for Summer League play. He's now with the Thunder and could compete for a spot on the team's regular-season roster. However, the guard out of Florida State may still be waived before training camp begins, as the Thunder own his G League rights.

Thunder's Andrew Holifield: Lands Exhibit 10 pact
Holifield signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Thunder on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Holifield could compete for a spot on Oklahoma City's regular-season roster after joining the team for Summer League play. However, the organization now owns his G League rights, so it's possible he'll be waived before training camp begins. In 31 games at Lamar in 2025-26, the 22-year-old averaged 11.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals across 28.6 minutes per showing.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Healthy for training camp
Thunder general manager Sam Presti said Thursday that Williams "looks fantastic" following a full offseason to recover from the injuries that plagued him in 2025-26, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Williams was limited to 33 regular-season appearances while dealing primarily with wrist and hamstring issues, and it will be interesting to see how he holds up during the preseason. Presumably, the Thunder will take a cautious approach with the star forward early on.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: More off-ball work coming?
Gilgeous-Alexander could play off the ball more this season, per Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo Sports.
Running mate Jalen Williams was limited to a career-low 33 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, but his presence on the floor could help Gilgeous-Alexander spend more time off the ball in 2026-27. Gilgeous-Alexander remains a cinch pick early in the first rounds of fantasy drafts regardless of his role, having averaged at least 30 points, four rebounds, five assists, one steal and nearly one block while shooting at least 51 percent from the field and 87 percent from the foul line in each of his past four seasons.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Pegged for larger role
Thunder general manager Sam Presti said the organization thinks "very highly" of Wallace and indicated that trading Luguentz Dort was partly a reflection of the team's belief in the 22-year-old guard, according to Rylan Stiles of SI.com.
Wallace started 58 regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 9.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 steals in 27.7 minutes per game in those contests. With Dort no longer in Oklahoma City, Wallace appears positioned for an increased role and could become a full-time starter in 2026-27.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Could step up this season
Thunder general manager Sam Presti has mentioned Mitchell (calf) multiple times as a player who could take on more minutes and make a jump this season, according to Brandon Rahbar of Daily Thunder.
Mitchell appears to be a candidate for an expanded role in Oklahoma City's rotation after showing promise in a limited capacity last season. The team lost Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort this offseason, making Mitchell an obvious player to watch ahead of fantasy drafts. His exact place in the rotation will become clearer during training camp and the preseason.

Thunder's Jared McCain: Hyped up by Presti
Thunder general manager Sam Presti praised McCain's all-around game, describing the guard as a "winning player," Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Presti added that there's "a lot more" to McCain's game than his ability to knock down three-pointers. The comments suggest Oklahoma City values the 22-year-old's broader skill set and could look to utilize him in multiple ways during his first season with the Thunder, and there will certainly be more opportunities following some key departures in the wing rotation.

Thunder's Thomas Sorber: Will be limited
Sorber will be limited to begin training camp, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
The young center underwent a minor arthroscopic procedure on his right knee in early July after missing the 2025-26 campaign while recovering from a torn ACL in the same knee. Sorber had initially been expected to return to full basketball activities roughly four weeks after the procedure, so his workload will be worth monitoring as camp progresses.

Thunder's Nikola Topic: Limited to start camp
Topic (back) will be limited when training camp begins, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports
General manager Sam Presti announced the restriction Thursday, and Topic is currently dealing with a back issue stemming from offseason surgery. The 21-year-old guard's participation level will be worth monitoring throughout camp as Oklahoma City prepares for the preseason.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Eyes next season after injuries
Williams said he has "enthusiasm" for the 2026-27 season after dealing with injuries, according to Justin Martinez of the Thunder Wire.
Williams was limited to 33 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign while dealing with four separate hamstring strains, and he appeared in only five playoff contests. The All-NBA forward said he's been working out for "basically a year without playing" and is eager to get back on the court, though there hasn't been an official update regarding his health entering training camp.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Could become full-time starter
Wallace is the most likely replacement for Luguentz Dort in Oklahoma City's starting lineup after Dort was traded to the Hawks in mid-July, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN.
The Thunder traded Dort, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe in cost-cutting maneuvers this offseason, leaving increased playing time available for the likes of Ajay Mitchell, Jared McCain and Wallace. The 22-year-old started 58 of his 77 regular-season appearances in 2025-26 due in large part to Jalen Williams (hamstring) missing significant time, and with Dort out of the picture, Wallace has a strong chance to carve out a full-time role in the starting lineup in the 2026-27 campaign. He averaged 9.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 steals across 27.7 minutes per game in his 58 starts last regular season.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Participating in practice
Hartenstein (ankle) participated in an offseason workout with the Thunder on Monday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Hartenstein sat out FIBA qualifiers with Germany to nurse an ankle injury he sustained earlier this summer, so it's encouraging to see him back on the court ahead of training camp in the fall. The 28-year-old big man appears to be firmly on track for the start of the regular season in October, barring any setbacks along the way.

Thunder's Aday Mara: Shines in FIBA qualifier
Mara registered 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Spain's 108-106 loss to Greece in Monday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
Mara led the club in boards Monday and scored an efficient 15 points. Although the prospect of a larger role diminished once Isaiah Hartenstein re-signed with the Thunder this offseason, the door is still open for Mara to have an impressive camp and seize an Opening Night role. The rookie No. 12 overall pick is set to battle with Jaylin Williams for the backup center gig.

Thunder's Aday Mara: Scores 12 points Friday
Mara recorded 12 points (3-8 FG, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 19 minutes during Spain's 95-89 loss to Portugal in Friday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
The 21-year-old was selected by Oklahoma City with the 12th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and will enter training camp competing with Jaylin Williams for the backup center role behind Isaiah Hartenstein. Mara's 7-foot-2 frame, passing ability and shot-blocking give him considerable long-term upside, but the Thunder's depth could make consistent playing time difficult to find during his rookie campaign.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Sitting out for Canada
Gilgeous-Alexander will not participate in Canada's upcoming World Cup qualifiers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
There is no injury to report, and this is simply a case of Gilgeous-Alexander prioritizing rest ahead of the upcoming NBA season. With training camp about a month away, the superstar is expected to be a full go for the Thunder.
