Ruled out for Thursday

Carlson will miss a second straight game due to a concussion. However, he wasn't part of the rotation before suffering the injury, so his absence shouldn't have any fantasy impact.

Won't play Thursday

Caruso suffered the injury during the fourth quarter of Monday's win over the Wizards and will miss at least one contest, marking his first absence since Dec. 3. In his absence, Ajay Mitchell, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace are candidates for a few extra minutes versus Indiana. Caruso's next chance to suit up will come Saturday in Charlotte.

Plays eight minutes in debut

Williams took the court for the first time all season after straining his right hamstring early in training camp and then suffering a setback in his recovery in late October. The 22-year-old's return gave the Thunder another option in the frontcourt, but so long as Isaiah Hartenstein is available and stays out of foul trouble, Williams will be hard-pressed to see more than 20 minutes in a given game. His path to playing time will grow only more daunting when Chet Holmgren (hip) eventually returns late in the season.
