The Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder have released their official injury reports ahead of Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals scheduled for Wednesday night.
Oklahoma City will remain without rookie big man Nikola Topic, who is recovering from left knee surgery and has been ruled out.
Denver, meanwhile, will again be without reserve center DaRon Holmes II due to a right Achilles tendon injury.
Both teams enter Game 2 with a clean injury report beyond those two absences.
The Nuggets lead the series 1-0 after a 121-119 comeback win in Game 1, powered by a 42-point, 22-rebound performance from MVP finalist Nikola Jokic.
Oklahoma City, the No. 1 seed in the West, is looking to bounce back after dropping its first home game since March.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder in the opener with 33 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists, but the hosts were outscored 36-28 in the fourth quarter.
Denver’s bench proved decisive in Game 1, with Russell Westbrook contributing 18 points and Christian Braun logging 11 points and 13 rebounds.
Oklahoma City received 20 points off the bench from Alex Caruso, but struggled to contain Denver on the boards, losing the rebounding battle 63-43.
The Thunder also failed to capitalize on a 10-point halftime lead, allowing 71 second-half points on 44.2 percent shooting from the Nuggets.
Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray combined for 43 points and 17 rebounds, providing secondary scoring behind Jokic’s dominant outing.
The Nuggets improved to 1-3 on the road in the 2025 playoffs with Monday’s win, while the Thunder dropped to 3-1 at home.
Game 2 tips off at 9:30 p.m. ET and will air nationally as Denver looks to take a commanding 2-0 lead back to Ball Arena.
