The Oklahoma City Thunder have hit a rough patch of late.
They're 5-5 in their last 10 games even with their defeat of the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday. They've dealt with extensive injuries, including lengthy absences for Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
However, there is hope on the horizon. The All-Star Break is coming up, giving the team much-needed rest heading into the home stretch of the season, and Jalen Williams looked strong in his return. With their star trio of Williams, Gilgeous-Alexander, and Chet Holmgren back, all should be copacetic, right?
Unfortunately, Oklahoma City still has no clear timetable for the return of Mitchell, who suffered an abdominal strain on Jan.
