#Thunder Injury Report vs. Hawks: Chet Holmgren (Back) Questionable Cason Wallace (Knee) Questionable Alex Caruso (Concussion) OUT Jalen Williams (Wrist) OUT Isaiah Joe (Knee) OUT Kenrich Williams (Knee) OUT Nikola Topic (Surgery Recovery) OUT Thomas Sorber (ACL) OUT

Jalen Williams, Alex Caruso and Isaiah Joe are still OUT tomorrow vs the Hawks. Chet Holmgren (back soreness) is questionable. Cason Wallace (knee sprain) has been upgraded to questionable.

Yet to see any tweet with this stat from last night: Bennedict Mathurin had a higher free throw rate than SGA. Mathurin: 17 FTA/19 FGA SGA: 26 FTA/31 FGA SGA and Mathurin both played 45 minutes. Game was physical both ways. Lots of foul calls both ways.

No blemishes on the Thunder-Pacers Last Two Minute Report.

🏀 THURSDAY'S FINAL SCORES 🏀 SGA erupts for 55 points and sets a new career-high in the @okcthunder's 2OT win! Ajay Mitchell: 26 PTS Aaron Wiggins: 23 PTS, 5 3PM Bennedict Mathurin: 36 PTS, 11 REB Pascal Siakam: 32 PTS, 15 REB

The Thunder Big 3 showed up big tonight in the clutch

Once again, the Thunder have found a way to turn injuries into an advantage. Mitchell had the ball in his hands quite a bit late, and he handled it well. Barnhizer and Youngblood got minutes. The Thunder are relentless when it comes to player development.

🥶

Impressive win by OKC to grit out another double OT win on the road in Indiana's home opener without JDub, Caruso, Wallace or Joe. Also impressed by Indiana. No Hali. Turner is gone. No McConnell tonight. Nembhard left the game with injury. And they still play hard, great ball.

Winning two double-overtime games to start the season shows the Thunder are not satisfied. The competitive edge remains sharp. Small market or not, these guys are must-see TV.

Perhaps the most impressive part of this 2-0 start for the Thunder is that Ajay Mitchell is averaging 21 points per game on nearly 50% shooting against two really good teams. They've found another one.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 45 points per game. Let that sink in. #Thunder with another win in a double-overtime thriller.

Clutch road win 😤

Ajay Mitchell to @NickAGallo on both he and SGA dropping career highs: "It's really easy to play with him." SGA interrupts the interview: "Ajay Mitchell!"

SGA handing out hugs to Ajay Mitchell, Chet Holmgren, Lu Dort and every Thunder player he sees.
