The Oklahoma City Thunder travel on the road to face the LA Clippers on Friday. This will be the second matchup between the two squads in the 2026-27 regular season. Last time, OKC got by with a season-altering Oct. 25 win that featured three injuries and kickstarted the Post-D.C.C. (Dub, Chet, Caso) era.
The Thunder (8-4) are hoping to get back on track after two losses in a row. The crunch-time offense failed them in a 118-108 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 31 points and four rebounds. Isaiah Hartenstein enjoyed his best night of the year with 20 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.
Meanwhile, the Clippers (2-8) continue to bottom out. They went through a 133-110 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
Darius Garland had a forgettable 13 points and six assists.
The Thunder remain extremely short-handed. Jalen Williams (ankle surgery) is out. Cason Wallace (shoulder surgery) is out. Chet Holmgren (knee injury recovery) is out. Ajay Mitchell (ankle sprain) is questionable. Jaylin Williams (back spasms) is out. Nikola Topic (G League assignment) is out. Thomas Sorber (knee surgery) is out.
Meanwhile, the same for the Clippers. Brandon Ingram (heel surgery) is out. Bradley Beal (knee injury management) is out. Jordan Miller (torn rotator cuff) is out. Yanic Konan Niederhauser (Lisfranc surgery) is out. Nick Martinelli (G League two-way) is out.
Tipoff from LA is set for 9:30 p.m. CT.
