San Antonio has listed Fox as questionable due to right ankle soreness and he is in danger of missing his first game of the playoffs, though he was able to play through the injury over the past few games.

If Fox is sidelined on Monday, Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson could both be in line for increased roles.

The Spurs have also listed Kornet as questionable due to left foot soreness and he is in danger of missing his first game of the playoffs.

If Kornet is sidelined, Carter Bryant, Mason Plumlee and Kelly Olynyk could all be in line for increased roles off the bench behind Victor Wembanyama.

Thunder Injury Report: Will Jalen Williams Play?

On the other side, the Thunder have only one player listed on their injury report as they have ruled out Thomas Sorber.
