Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Big usage again in Wednesday's loss
Mitchell finished Wednesday's 120-96 loss to the Mavericks with 29 points (12-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes.
Making his second straight start for the injury-depleted Thunder, Mitchell led all scorers on the night, but only one other OKC player was able to top 10 points. The 24-year-old wing should continue to see big minutes and usage while Jalen Williams (leg), Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Alex Caruso (ankle) are all sidelined. Over his two starts, Mitchell has averaged 29.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 boards, 1.5 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.5 minutes.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Will play Wednesday
Mitchell (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Mavericks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
With Alex Caruso (ankle), Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Jalen Williams (leg) all inactive, Mitchell should start and see major minutes for Oklahoma City. As a starter last season, Mitchell averaged 14.9 points, 3.8 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.3 steals per game on 49/42/88 shooting splits.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Questionable with ankle sprain
Mitchell (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas.
Mitchell came away with an ankle sprain in the aftermath of Monday's win over the Suns. With Alex Caruso (ankle) already ruled out for Wednesday, Jared McCain would be streaming shallow fantasy leagues and Bennett Stirtz in deeper formats if Mitchell is sidelined.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Totals 30 points in win
Mitchell totaled 30 points (10-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one block in 25 minutes during Monday's 125-114 victory over the Suns.
Mitchell drew the start in place of Jalen Williams (ankle) and delivered a career-best scoring performance, including 18 points in the first half. With Williams and Cason Wallace (shoulder) both facing extended absences following injuries that require surgery, Mitchell is positioned for a significant increase in offensive responsibility. Alex Caruso also exited Monday's contest with a right ankle sprain, potentially creating even more backcourt opportunities. Mitchell should be a priority fantasy pickup given Oklahoma City's mounting injury concerns.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Starting vs. Phoenix
Mitchell is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Suns, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Mitchell will move to the starting lineup and could be in line for a larger role for the foreseeable future since both Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) are expected to miss most, if not all, of the remainder of the season. Mitchell recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 108-101 win over the Clippers.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Leads second unit in win
Mitchell recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 108-101 win over the Clippers.
Mitchell was hoisted into a larger role Sunday due to injuries to Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Jalen Williams (ankle) and put together an impressive all-around performance. Mitchell continued his solid play defensively, following up his career-high five steals Thursday with a three-steal outing Sunday. The 24-year-old pro will likely continue to see an expanded role going forward due to Williams' injury.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Career-high five steals
Mitchell recorded 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one block and five steals in 23 minutes during Thursday's 96-84 win over Denver.
Mitchell recorded a career-high five steals, while adding a block for good measure. He also finished as one of four Thunder players to score double digits in what was a game dominated by defense. Seen as a viable late-round target in fantasy drafts by many, it's fair to say that the jury is still out when it comes to what his role might look like this season, Early indications are that he will likely flirt with about 24 minutes per game, which at least keeps him on the radar.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Not starting Tuesday
Mitchell won't start Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Mitchell got the starting nod in Thursday's preseason finale, though Cason Wallace is back in action and starting Tuesday's regular-season opener. Mitchell should play a sizable role for Oklahoma City this season after averaging 13.6 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 25.8 minutes per game across 57 regular-season appearances (16 starts) in the 2025-26 campaign.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Struggles in preseason finale
Mitchell finished with seven points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 116-89 preseason loss to Houston.
Mitchell drew the start but struggled to generate offense, missing all four of his three-point attempts while committing three turnovers. Oklahoma City shot just 13.9 percent from beyond the arc as a team, and Mitchell was among several Thunder guards who couldn't find their rhythm. He'll look to bounce back when the regular season begins.
