Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Won't play Friday

Mitchell (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

This will be the second straight game on the bench for Mitchell, so for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup with Houston. That said, Mitchell is a negligible part of the rotation, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy hoops.
