Jalen Williams', Ajay Mitchell's Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs Game 4 statuses revealed.

An uphill battle gets even steeper for the Oklahoma City Thunder . Up 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals, they will potentially be without two of their three best ball-handlers and scorers. That cracks open the door for the San Antonio Spurs to get right back into this.

Jalen Williams (hamstring soreness) is questionable. Ajay Mitchell (soleus strain) has already been ruled out. Not good.

That means Shai Gilgeous-Alexander might need to carry OKC's offensive load all the way through if they hope to go up 3-1 in this playoff series. Let's see if Williams returns for Game 4. But seriously doubt it.

Think the Thunder will slowplay his Hail-Mary-esque return from a fourth hamstring injury in five months. Also, OKC already did its job by splitting these two road games at San Antonio. Another brutal blow for the Thunder.
