The Western Conference Finals shift back to Oklahoma City as the San Antonio Spurs face the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 5 at Paycom Center, with the series tied 2-2. Tip-off is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, at 8:30 PM ET.
The Spurs enter Game 5 with a clean injury sheet, carrying a fully available rotation for the matchup in Oklahoma City. Head coach Mitch Johnson has no listed absences, allowing full flexibility around key players such as Victor Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox, and Stephon Castle.
The Thunder, however, continue managing multiple availability concerns ahead of a pivotal home game. Ajay Mitchell is ruled out with a right soleus strain, while Thomas Sorber remains sidelined due to ACL surgical recovery.
The most closely watched status involves Jalen Williams, who is listed as questionable with a left hamstring strain under management. His potential availability directly influences Oklahoma City’s wing rotation and secondary creation options alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
From a production standpoint, the Thunder continue to rely heavily on Gilgeous-Alexander, who is averaging 27.7 points and 8.1 assists in the playoffs, operating as the primary offensive engine. Chet Holmgren also remains a central interior presence with 16.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 3.8 blocks per game.
Depth becomes a key factor if Oklahoma City is forced to adjust its wing rotation again. Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso have provided perimeter stability, especially in defensive matchups and spot shooting roles across the series.
San Antonio’s statistical profile remains anchored by Wembanyama’s 23.1 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, supported by Fox’s 18.0 points and 5.8 assists.
