Mitchell (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Denver.

The Thunder have already secured the league's best record and are listing 10 players as out ahead of Friday's contest. Mitchell's next chance to suit up will come in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Suns.

Wallace is listed as out for Friday's game against Denver due to left great toe soreness, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

This will mark Wallace's first absence since Jan. 27, as the Thunder are resting a large number of their usual rotation players with the No. 1 seed already locked up. He'll have one more chance to appear in the regular season, Sunday against Phoenix, before the playoffs begin.

Harkless (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Memphis.

Harkless has missed Utah's last five games with a left hamstring strain, though the questionable tag means there's a chance he will return this season. If he remains sidelined, Bez Mbeng and Kennedy Chandler will both likely continue seeing significant minutes.

Gilgeous-Alexander (oblique) won't play in Friday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Oklahoma City has a lock on the top spot in the Western Conference, so Gilgeous-Alexander will take the night off against Denver. With Ajay Mitchell (ankle), Alex Caruso (rest), Isaiah Joe (knee) and Cason Wallace (toe) also unavailable, Jared McCain and Nikola Topic should see more minutes, with at least one of them in line to enter the starting lineup.

Williams is out for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to right hamstring injury management, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

This appears to be a scheduled rest night for Williams, as the Thunder already have the No. 1 seed locked up. He'll have a chance to return for the regular-season finale Sunday against the Suns.

Holmgren won't play Friday against the Nuggets due to back spasms, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

It's unclear as to when Holmgren started to experience the back issue, but it'll be enough to keep him from Friday's action. Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams should be in line for more minutes with Holmgren and Alex Caruso (rest) sidelined.

Walsh is starting Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Walsh will take the place of Jaylen Brown, who is out Thursday due to left Achilles tendinitis. Walsh started a pair of games down the stretch but failed to score in double figures in either opportunity.

Markkanen (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Markkanen is still recovering from a right hip impingement and hasn't played since Feb. 23. His last chance to suit up this season will come in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers, though he can be considered doubtful for that contest until the Jazz offer an update on his status.

Collier (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against Memphis.

Collier has missed Utah's last 11 contests. With only one game left this season for the Jazz after Friday's clash with the Grizzlies, it appears there's a good chance he won't be back on the floor until the 2026-27 campaign. Keyonte George (hamstring) is also still out, so Ace Bailey (knee), who is off the injury report, might find himself back at the point guard spot.

Filipowski (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis.

Filipowski will miss Utah's penultimate regular-season game due to lower-back injury management. With the big man sidelined, Oscar Tshiebwe and Blake Hinson are candidates to see increased playing time.
