The San Antonio Spurs visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night at Paycom Center with injury reports that could influence a matchup between the top two teams in the Western Conference standings.
San Antonio enters at 27-12, second in the West, while Oklahoma City leads the conference at 33-7 and carries a three-game winning streak into the rematch.
The Spurs will be without Devin Vassell, who is out with a left adductor strain after averaging 15.0 points per game across 32 appearances this season.
Victor Wembanyama continues to anchor the lineup with 24.3 points, 11.1 rebounds, and elite rim protection, while De’Aaron Fox adds 20.7 points and 5.8 assists per game in transition-heavy lineups.
The Spurs are also listing Harrison Ingram, David Jones García, and Stanley Umude as out due to G League assignments.
San Antonio is coming off a narrow 103-104 loss in Minnesota after defeating Boston on the road.
Oklahoma City’s injury report is more stable, though the Thunder will again be without Isaiah Hartenstein due to a right soleus strain.
Hartenstein’s absence impacts rebounding and interior passing, though Chet Holmgren has continued to produce 18.1 points and 8.4 rebounds per game as the primary frontcourt presence.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains the focal point of the offense, averaging 31.9 points on 54.7 percent shooting while leading the league in scoring efficiency among high-usage guards.
Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber remain out following surgical recoveries.
The Thunder are coming off back-to-back wins over Miami and Memphis, scoring at least 117 points in each game during the current streak.
Despite Oklahoma City’s conference-best record, San Antonio has controlled the season series with three wins, including two road victories and a dominant Christmas Day performance.
Tip-off is set for 8:00 p.m. ET, with San Antonio seeking another statement win and Oklahoma City aiming to protect home court while adjusting to key frontcourt absences.
