Head coach Mike Brown said Robinson (finger) was limited to individual work in Sunday's practice, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Robinson was diagnosed with a broken right pinky finger Thursday and underwent surgery shortly thereafter. Shams Charania of ESPN reported Friday that the big man intends to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Spurs on Wednesday, though he's expected to wear a protective brace on his hand moving forward. The Knicks are expected to provide an update on his status by Tuesday night at the latest.

Topic did not see the floor in Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Topic appeared in nine games this postseason, though he never logged more than six garbage-time minutes. The 20-year-old missed the entire 2024-25 season due to a partial ACL tear in his left knee that required surgery. He returned to action during the 2025 Summer League but was later diagnosed with testicular cancer after making one preseason appearance. Topic ultimately made his NBA regular-season debut Feb. 12 and averaged 5.2 points, 4.4 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per showing across 10 regular-season games (two starts) in 2025-26.

Joe did not see the floor in Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Although Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Ajay Mitchell (calf) were both unavailable, Joe's inconsistent postseason ended with a DNP-CD in Saturday's do-or-die matchup. The 26-year-old wing made 12 appearances this postseason, during which he averaged 5.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 11.9 minutes per contest. He's under contract for the 2026-27 campaign, and the Thunder hold a team option for 2027-28. Despite his playoff inconsistencies, Joe largely provided a spark off the bench during his fourth season with the Thunder in 2025-26, averaging a career-high 11.1 points along with 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting 42.3 percent from downtown in 21.2 minutes per game across 71 regular-season outings (nine starts).

McCain accumulated 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

With Cason Wallace stepping into the starting five for Saturday's do-or-die matchup, McCain came off the bench after making two consecutive starts. The 22-year-old guard didn't deliver his most efficient performance, though he still tied the bench high in points and scored in double figures for a third straight game. The Duke product was traded from Philadelphia to Oklahoma City in February after an injury-plagued start to his career that included surgery to repair a torn meniscus in December 2024 and thumb surgery last September. He appeared in 30 regular-season outings (two starts) for the Thunder, averaging 10.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.8 triples and 0.9 assists while shooting 39.1 percent from downtown in 17.9 minutes per contest during that span. He figures to maintain a meaningful bench role for the Thunder in 2026-27.

Wiggins did not play in the Thunder's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Wiggins started in 21 of 65 regular-season games and averaged 9.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.9 steals over 21.8 minutes per contest. However, his role diminished in the postseason, and he failed to crack 10-plus minutes in eight of the Thunder's 11 playoff games, including four DNPs. Wiggins is under contract with the Thunder for the next three seasons, with a club option for 2028-29.

Williams closed with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over four minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Williams averaged 16.7 minutes per game off the bench in the three games prior to Saturday's elimination contest. However, he saw just four minutes of action in Game 7 as Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault opted to shorten his rotation. Williams' playing time fluctuated during the 2025-26 campaign, both in the regular season and playoffs. Whether he's back in Oklahoma City depends on whether the Thunder exercise Williams' team option for the 2026-27 season, which is valued at $7.16 million. If he does return, then he'll likely operate in a reserve role behind Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jalen Williams (hamstring).

Dort ended with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and one rebound over 16 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to San Antonio in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Dort logged fewer than 20 minutes for the third time over the final four games of the Western Conference Finals and failed to make a positive impact on the offensive end in his limited run Saturday. The 27-year-old swingman remained a mainstay in the Thunder's starting five in 2025-26, though his production took a significant step back. Dort averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting a career-low 38.5 percent from the field in 26.8 minutes per game across 69 regular-season appearances. The Thunder hold a $17.7 million team option on Dort's contract for 2026-27, creating some uncertainty around his future in Oklahoma City.

Hartenstein contributed seven points (3-7 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Hartenstein saw his playing time fluctuate over the course of the Western Conference Finals, and he saw less minutes in Game 7 than backup center Jaylin Williams (26). Hartenstein also finished Saturday's elimination game with a minus-14 point differential, which was worst on Oklahoma City. He has a $28.5 million team option for the 2026-27 season, and the two sides could work on an extension over the offseason. He finished the 2025-26 postseason averaging 9.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks over 23.4 minutes per contest, with three double-doubles across 15 playoff games.

Caruso had 12 points (3-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 39 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Caruso entered Saturday's win-or-go-home contest having connected on 55.7 percent of his three-point attempts over the first six games of the series, but he was unable to carry that efficiency into Game 7. His 39 minutes of playing time were his most since the start of the regular season and second most on the Thunder behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (43 minutes). Caruso scored in double digits in five of seven games of the series and will end the Western Conference Finals having averaged 14.9 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.9 threes over 26.1 minutes per game. Caruso has been a key piece to the Thunder's success since being acquired from the Bulls during the 2024 offseason and is under contract with Oklahoma City for two more seasons.

Williams totaled 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to San Antonio in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Williams served an expanded role during the Western Conference Finals, due in part to the absence of Jalen Williams (hamstring) and to fill in for a struggling Chet Holmgren. Williams recorded his first double-double of the postseason in Saturday's loss and was the only Thunder player to finish the game with a positive point differential (plus-10). He finished the Western Conference Finals having averaged 6.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 threes over 19.1 minutes per game. Williams should operate as the Thunder's backup center behind Isaiah Hartenstein for the 2026-27 season.
