Thunder Visit Clippers in NBA Cup Group Play

The injury-depleted Oklahoma City Thunder visit the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday in an NBA Cup group-stage game, seeking to rebound from consecutive losses to Portland and avoid a three-game skid. The Thunder opened West Group B with a 128-97 win over Memphis and are 1-0. Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace have been out since Oklahoma City’s Oct. 25 win over the Clippers, while Ajay Mitchell is questionable; Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the remaining players have carried the load. The six group winners and two wild cards will advance to the eight-team knockout stage.
