SAN ANTONIO — OKC Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell has been ruled out for Game 4 of the Western Conference finals against the San Antonio Spurs at 7 p.m. CT Sunday due to a right soleus strain.
Mitchell exited the third quarter of Game 3 on Friday and didn't return. The Thunder ultimately earned a 123-108 road win over the Spurs to claim a 2-1 series lead.
Jalen Williams is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest due to left hamstring soreness. He sustained the injury during Game 2 and didn't play in Game 3 as a result.
Mitchell and Williams are two of the most complete players on OKC's roster. They provide valuable shot creation, playmaking and defense. Cason Wallace is likely to get the starting nod Sunday if neither player is able to suit up.

Best-of-seven; Games 5-7 if necessary.
