• Thunder's Cason Wallace: Back to bench role

  Rotowire Jun 13, 2025

  Wallace will come off the bench Friday during Game 4, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. Wallace was a starter for the first three games of the NBA Finals. In Game 4, the Thunder will go with more size in the starting lineup, with Isaiah Hartenstein getting the nod. In 16 games in a reserve role during this postseason, Wallace has averaged 5.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 40.7 percent from the floor and 32.6 percent from deep.

• Thunder's Cason Wallace: Modest effort in spot start

  Rotowire Jun 6, 2025

  Wallace posted six points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 111-110 loss to the Pacers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Wallace moved into the starting lineup for Game 1, replacing Isaiah Hartenstein, who moved to the bench. This move was based purely on the matchup, with the coaching staff opting to go small to counter the Pacers' interchangeable lineup. Despite the promotion, Wallace wasn't particularly impactful on the stat sheet. It remains to be seen whether he will remain in the starting lineup for Game 2 on Sunday.

• Thunder's Cason Wallace: Promoted to starting five

  Rotowire Jun 5, 2025

  Wallace is in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 1 against the Pacers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Wallace wasn't overly impressive in his team's last series against the Timberwolves, averaging 5.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 25.8 minutes (five appearances) off the bench, but the Thunder will elect to roll out a smaller lineup in the first matchup of the NBA Finals. Isaiah Hartenstein will come off the bench as a result of the lineup shift.

• Thunder's Cason Wallace: Hands out seven assists

  Rotowire May 21, 2025

  Wallace accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-88 victory over Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. If Game 1 was any indication, the Thunder could use a lot of small-ball lineups during this series to counter Minnesota. While Wallace took only three shots, his fingerprints were all over this win with some head-turning playmaking. He could potentially be more involved going forward, especially with Luguentz Dort struggling with his shot.

• Thunder's Cason Wallace: Productive off bench in Game 3 win

  Rotowire Apr 25, 2025

  Wallace racked up five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 win over the Grizzlies in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Wallace didn't produce gaudy stats Thursday but was effective in multiple facets of a major comeback win. Through the first three games of the series, he's averaging 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 20.3 minutes per night. The 21-year-old isn't relied on as a high-volume scorer, but Wallace can provide quality bench minutes for the Thunder through their postseason run.

• Thunder's Cason Wallace: Limited run in Game 1

  Rotowire Apr 21, 2025

  Wallace (shoulder) finished with two points (1-1 FG), three assists, two rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 131-80 win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series. Wallace had missed Oklahoma City's final three games of the regular season due to a right shoulder strain, but his absences were likely precautionary with the Thunder having clinched the NBA's top record. The second-year guard was cleared to play ahead of the postseason opener, but he saw light minutes due to a combination of foul trouble and the Grizzlies' inability to keep the game competitive. He racked up four fouls in his 13 minutes and checked out of the contest for good with 2:15 left in the third quarter, when the Thunder had built a 51-point lead. Wallace should be in line for more playing time in Game 2 on Tuesday.

He ends the season with averages of 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game while starting in 43 of his 68 appearances.

  Rotowire Apr 9, 2025

  Wallace is out for Wednesday's game against the Suns due to a right shoulder strain. Wallace has scored in double digits in five of his last seven appearances, so his absence will prevent the Thunder from having one of their best second-unit scoring weapons in this contest. Wallace plays a key role off the bench for OKC, so the team will be cautious with him, as the playoffs are right around the corner. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Jazz.
