Estadísticas de jugadores y previa: Minnesota Timberwolves contra Oklahoma City Thunder

Holmgren underwent a biological treatment Friday to address a small patellar tendon tear and will miss at least 8-10 weeks, Nick Crain of Slam reports. This is another massive blow to an Oklahoma City squad that's already set to be without Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) for most, if not all, of the season. With Holmgren sidelined, Kenrich Williams, Jaylin Williams and Aday Mara are all candidates to see increased playing time. Two-way player Brooks Barnhizer could also see more minutes.

Mitchell has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a left ankle sprain. Mitchell won't play in the second half of the Thunder's back-to-back set due to a left ankle sprain. He finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 123-103 loss to Portland. In his absence, Alex Caruso, Bennett Stirtz and Nique Clifford are candidates for increased roles.

Williams (leg) underwent successful surgery Wednesday to "address a fractured left fibula and reconstruction of ankle ligaments following a fracture and dislocation." He will be re-evaluated before the end of the regular season, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. Williams suffered the injury during Sunday's meeting with the Clippers and was taken off the court on a stretcher. It's unknown when the 25-year-old will be cleared to return, though the Thunder will presumably be overly cautious moving forward. Williams, who signed a five-year extension in July of 2025, has had a productive career, averaging 17.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 steals over 30.9 minutes per contest. However, after playing at least 69 regular-season games in his first three years in the league, he has appeared in just 36 in the last two seasons combined. With the Thunder having one of the deepest rosters in the NBA, the team may look for more minutes from Jared McCain, Jaylin Williams, and Kenrich Williams for the remainder of the 2026-27 campaign.

Wallace underwent surgery Friday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will be re-evaluated before the end of the regular season, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Wallace is expected to miss most, if not all, of the season. However, there's still a chance he will return late in the campaign after sustaining the shoulder injury in Sunday's win over the Clippers. With Jalen Williams (leg) also set to be re-evaluated before the end of the regular season, Alex Caruso (ankle) should see significant playing time once cleared to return. In the meantime, Jared McCain, Bennett Stirtz and Josh Dix are expected to see increased burn.

Williams (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Portland and remains out indefinitely. Williams is slated to miss a fifth straight game and doesn't have a return timetable, so it's fair to consider him week-to-week. With Chet Holmgren (knee) also sidelined, the Thunder will rely on Isaiah Hartenstein and Aday Mara.

Sorber (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. Sorber remains in recovery mode due to knee surgery. Until the Thunder update his timetable for a return, Sorber can be deemed week-to-week.

Injury/Illness - Right Achilles Tendon Repair / Surgery (2026-11-12, DAL@MIN). Prior reporting (2026-10-05): DiVincenzo (Achilles) remains confident that he'll return during the 2026-27 season, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports. DiVincenzo is approaching six months since tearing his right Achilles during the first round of the playoffs and has been rehabbing with the expectation that he'll play at some point this season. The veteran guard has sought advice from Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard during his recovery, though Minnesota has yet to establish a timetable for his return.

Injury/Illness - Right Knee Arthroscopy (2026-11-12, DAL@MIN). Prior reporting (2026-10-29): Edwards underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his right knee Thursday, the Timberwolves announced. Edwards underwent debridement surgery in Minnesota, though the team did not provide a timetable for his return. The star guard is expected to make a full recovery, with additional updates coming as he progresses through rehabilitation. Based on previous reporting from ESPN's Shams Charania, Edwards could miss up to two months. Edwards was off to a scorching start this season, averaging 33.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals across four appearances.
