Thunder's Bennett Stirtz: Scores 20 points off bench
Stirtz posted 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and a steal across 22 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 128-126 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Stirtz capitalized on extended second-half opportunities and delivered another impressive showing, posting 15 points in 31 minutes in the preseason opener against the Pelicans on Tuesday. His shooting was particularly encouraging, although his minus-20 rating reflected the struggles of Oklahoma City's reserve-heavy lineup. Stirtz will need to build on these performances to earn consistent regular-season minutes in a competitive backcourt, but his first two preseason outings are certainly encouraging.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Efficient scoring in preseason loss
Williams tallied 16 points (8-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and two steals across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 128-126 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Williams was highly effective inside the arc, making eight of his 11 field-goal attempts while contributing six assists and two steals, but he missed all three of his three-point attempts. Long-range shooting woes aside, the star forward helped Oklahoma City build an 82-64 halftime lead before sitting out the second half alongside most of the Thunder's starters. Williams was limited to just 33 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, but if he stays healthy in 2026-27, he should operate as the team's No. 2 option on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Perfect shooting in limited action
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 17 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and a block across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 128-126 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Gilgeous-Alexander delivered a flawless offensive performance in limited action, converting every field-goal and free-throw attempt while helping Oklahoma City establish a commanding first-half advantage. The Thunder rested their starters after halftime, and Milwaukee capitalized against Oklahoma City's reserves. His efficiency and playmaking were encouraging signs, although preseason shooting percentages carry limited predictive value given the restricted minutes and experimental rotations. If this game offered any sign ahead of the regular season, it's that Gilgeous-Alexander should be ready to roll after winning the MVP award in each of the last two seasons.

Thunder's Aday Mara: Strikes for 22 points in preseason loss
Mara amassed 22 points (10-10 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 128-126 preseason loss to the Bucks.
After posting 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting along with nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks in the front end of this back-to-back set, Mara remained highly productive Wednesday. The rookie big man led all players in scoring and showed off his ability as a lob threat while shooting a perfect 10-for-10 from the field. Although the 21-year-old has impressed in the preseason thus far, he figures to face significant competition for minutes during the regular season.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Headed to bench
Williams will come off the bench in Wednesday's exhibition against the Bucks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Williams started for a resting Jalen Williams in Tuesday's preseason opener, but J Dub is back, so Williams will shift to the second unit. It will be tough for Williams to find meaningful minutes in Oklahoma City this season while the main guys are healthy.

Thunder's Bennett Stirtz: Back to bench
Stirtz won't start Wednesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
With the Thunder resting most of their key players, Stirtz played a team-high 31 minutes in Tuesday's preseason loss to the Pelicans, scoring a game-high 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and adding six assists and five rebounds. However, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace back in action, the rookie will return to a reserve role.

Thunder's Jared McCain: Won't start vs. Milwaukee
McCain won't start Wednesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
McCain got the starting nod in Tuesday's preseason-opening loss to the Pelicans, though he'll shift to the second unit in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Thunder will start Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, Jalen Williams and Aday Mara on Wednesday.

Caruso will start in Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Bucks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Good to go Wednesday
Caruso (rest) is set to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Caruso sat out the Thunder's preseason opener but is set to return Wednesday. The veteran swingman saw a slight dip in playing time last season, averaging 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 18.2 minutes per game across 56 regular-season appearances.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Set for action Wednesday
Wallace (rest) is in line to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Set to play Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (not injury related) is set to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Gilgeous-Alexander isn't included on the list of Thunder players who'll be held out of Wednesday's contest. Chet Holmgren (quadriceps) and Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) will remain on the inactive list, though the rest of Oklahoma City's projected starters for 2026-27 are expected to suit up.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Set to play Wednesday
Williams (rest) is in line to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Williams appears primed for exhibition action after sitting out Oklahoma City's preseason opener. He was limited to 33 regular-season appearances while dealing primarily with wrist and hamstring issues in 2025-26, but Williams is healthy for the Thunder this fall.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Ruled out Wednesday
Holmgren (quadriceps) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against Milwaukee, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
It's unknown how severe the quad contusion is, though Holmgren is likely being held out for precautionary reasons. With Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) and Jaylin Williams (heel) also sidelined against the Bucks, Aday Mara may make another start.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Not playing Wednesday
Williams (heel) is out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Williams is one of several regular rotation players who won't be suiting up Wednesday. His absence will give rookie Aday Mara more minutes, and the Spaniard turned heads in Tuesday's game against the Lakers. Williams' next chance to play in the preseason will come against the Hawks on Monday, Oct. 12.

Thunder's Josh Dix: Notches 11 points
Dix finished with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 116-110 preseason loss to the Pelicans.
Dix logged the second-most minutes among Oklahoma City's reserves and provided efficient perimeter shooting. The rookie guard faces significant competition for regular-season minutes on a deep Thunder roster but should continue receiving opportunities throughout the preseason.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Puts up strong line
Barnhizer finished with 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 116-110 preseason loss to New Orleans.
Barnhizer made the most of his opportunities offensively while also grabbing two offensive rebounds. The second-year wing received an extended look with several of Oklahoma City's regulars unavailable and will look to build on the performance throughout the preseason.
