The Oklahoma City Thunder have recently been bitten by the injury bug. Against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, they were missing Isaiah Hartenstein, Jalen Williams, Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Jalen Williams in addition to Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topic, who are out for the season.
To make matters worse, Ajay Mitchell went down late in the third quarter with a right hip contusion.
As a result, the Thunder went deep into their bench to pull out another dominant win. In the process, an obvious adjustment for head coach Mark Daigneault was revealed.
Branden Carlson played effective and impactful minutes when he saw the court.
