The Thunder and Suns are set to face off in Game 82 tonight, capping off the 2025-26 regular season along with the NBA’s other 28 teams.<\/p>\n
The postseason isn’t completely set, though both Oklahoma City and Phoenix are already locked into their positions at No. 1 and 7 in the Western Conference, respectively. With that being the case, both will be conservative so as to stay healthy and rested ahead of the Playoffs. <\/p>\n
The Thunder currently stand at 64 wins, having grabbed the No. 1 seed for the third-straight year.<\/p>\n
Here are the injury reports for both teams ahead of tonight\u2019s undermanned bouts:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Much like OKC\u2019s game against Denver, the Thunder are taking advantage of having locked up No. 1, listing 10 of its top players on its injury report for Sunday.<\/p>\n
Starters in soon-to-be two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, as well as one-time All-Stars in Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, and starting center Isaiah Hartenstein have all been ruled out.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the team\u2019s top bench core in Ajay Mitchell, Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace are all listed out, with Jaylin Williams and Isaiah Joe set to sit as well.<\/p>\n
The Suns are in similar position as they prepare for the Western Conference Play-In games, though they\u2019ve listed eight in total, five of which are questionable to play, opposed to simply out. All of Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin, Jalen green, Haywood Highsmith and Mark Williams are questionable.<\/p>\n
All of Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen and Royce O\u2019Neal will be out tonight.<\/p>\n
