Ajay Mitchell Fantasy Stats

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs. Mitchell will miss another contest with a right soleus strain, leaving Oklahoma City without a guard who averaged 13.6 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals during the regular season and 15.1 points with 4.3 assists through his first 11 playoff appearances. With Jalen Williams (hamstring) also sidelined, Jared McCain and Alex Caruso should continue handling extra rotation work after helping Oklahoma City take a 3-2 series lead in Game 5. McCain carries the cleaner short-term fantasy appeal after making his first playoff start and scoring 20 points Tuesday.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs. Mitchell moved into the starting five for Game 3 of this series with Jalen Williams (hamstring) ruled out. He joined Williams on the sideline when he suffered a right calf strain and missed Game 4. Now, Mitchell is in danger of missing his second straight game due to this calf issue. Cason Wallace started in Game 4, but didn't bring much to the stat sheet. He'll likely start again in Game 5 with Williams listed as questionable for this game. Wallace could offer some low-end DFS value, but he isn't an ideal target.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (calf) won't be in the lineup on Sunday in Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been diagnosed with a right soleus strain after playing just 17 minutes as a starter in Game 3 on Friday. Mitchell was filling in for Jalen Williams (hamstring) in the starting unit. It's unclear whether Williams will be ready to return on Sunday, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. If Williams remains sidelined, Jared McCain and Cason Wallace will compete for the starting role. Both players performed well off the bench on Friday night and should draw significant fantasy attention on Sunday.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (undisclosed) exited Friday's 123-108 Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and did not return, finishing with two points (1-for-5 on field goals, 0-for-1 from three-point land), five rebounds, and one assist in 17 minutes. The 23-year-old got tangled up with Devin Vassell, picked up a technical with 8:19 left in the third quarter, then headed to the locker room and was absent from the bench in the fourth. He had appeared to reaggravate a quad issue from Game 2. Mitchell drew the start in place of Jalen Williams (hamstring), so his health matters for the rotation. If he can't go Sunday, Jared McCain, Cason Wallace, and Isaiah Joe all stand to absorb additional minutes, with McCain the most intriguing after shooting 40 percent from three through the postseason.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell will return to the starting lineup in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Mitchell has started six of the Thunder's 10 postseason games, but he had to settle for a reserve role at the start of the Conference Finals after Jalen Williams (hamstring) was cleared to return to the lineup. With Williams now back on the shelf, Mitchell will get a new opportunity to run with the starters. As a starter in the 2026 playoffs, Mitchell has posted averages of 21.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 steals.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell wrapped up the second-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 28-point effort in Monday's 115-110 win. The 23-year-old sophomore had the best postseason scoring performance of his young career and also made a mark defensively, recording four steals. He had an outstanding 12-for-19 record from the field, though Mitchell made only one of four three-point attempts. He grabbed three rebounds and delivered four assists. The defending champions lost Jalen Williams (hamstring) in Round 1, but thanks to Mitchell's emergence, the team has done just fine without him. Since taking over Williams' spot in the starting lineup, Mitchell has averaged 21.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell delivered a career playoff night in Saturday's 131-108 Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing with 24 points, 10 assists, four rebounds, and three steals across 30 minutes. The 23-year-old was sharp from all over the floor, shooting 10-for-17 from the field, 2-for-4 from three-point range, and 2-for-3 at the foul line. Mitchell has taken full advantage of his expanded postseason role, and this double-double was another reminder that his fantasy value can hold as long as Oklahoma City keeps leaning on him for creation.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (ankle, abdomen) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Mitchell is set to return following a 20-game absence due to an abdominal strain and sprained left ankle. He's expected to operate under a minutes limit, given Mitchell hasn't played since mid-January. His return to the rotation should mean reduced roles for Jared McCain, Isaiah Joe, and Cason Wallace. Mitchell could be worth snagging for the fantasy playoffs, but it'll likely take him a few games to ramp up.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) will be sidelined for at least one more week and is set for re-evaluation, remaining out alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) and Jalen Williams (hamstring). The absence keeps Oklahoma City's backcourt thin. Over the last five games, Isaiah Joe has averaged 16.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.4 threes in 28.1 minutes, while Cason Wallace has posted 11.0 points, 4.2 assists, and 1.8 steals in 30.8 minutes. Aaron Wiggins has added 10.8 points and 1.6 steals in 24.8 minutes. Wallace is the safest hold, with Joe and Wiggins viable category streamers.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) will miss his 10th consecutive game on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old sophomore departed the lineup three weeks ago due to an abdominal strain and doesn't appear to have a timeline for his return. The Thunder's backcourt also remains without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen), boosting the fantasy appeal of Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, and Jared McCain. Wallace is a regular starter for the defending champions and offers the most to fantasy teams, though Joe has also played well lately. He has averaged 16.0 points and 1.8 steals across his last four appearances.
