Is Thunder’s Ajay Mitchell playing in Game 4 vs. Spurs after Game 3 injury?

The San Antonio Spurs face the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4, and Ajay Mitchell sits at the center of the injury report. The latest NBA Playoffs injury report rules him out with a right soleus strain, putting his status in focus before this matchup in San Antonio. The Thunder lead the series 2-1 after taking Game 3, 123-108, following a 1-1 split through the first two games.

Ajay Mitchell’s absence comes after a heated Game 3 sequence. Shortly after committing a flagrant foul on Stephon Castle and getting into a scuffle with Devin Vassell in the second half, the 23-year-old guard exited with a right calf strain. The Thunder later listed him out for Game 4 with the right soleus issue.

That matters for the Thunder. Mitchell gives Oklahoma City another guard who can pressure the ball, attack gaps, and bring energy off the bench. His role is not always loud, but it fits how the Thunder play. They rely on pace, depth, and defensive activity. Losing one rotation piece still changes the feel of a playoff game.

For San Antonio, this is a chance to respond. The Spurs got hit hard in Game 3 after the series was tied. Now they return home needing sharper execution and better control.

So when it comes to the question of whether Ajay Mitchell is playing tonight vs. the Spurs, the answer is no. The Thunder officially ruled him out.

The Thunder also list Thomas Sorber as out as he continues his recovery from right ACL surgery. Meanwhile, the latest NBA Playoffs injury report has Jalen Williams questionable with left hamstring soreness, making his status one of the biggest updates to monitor before Game 4.

Still, Oklahoma City has momentum and a 2-1 lead. San Antonio has urgency and home court. Game 4 is no longer just about adjustments. It is about control. Can the Spurs protect home court, or will the Thunder move one win away from advancing?
