Gordon Hayward - Questionable vs. CharlotteHayward (lower leg) is questionable to face the Hornets on Sunday.
ImpactHayward departed Friday's game against the Pacers due to left lower leg soreness, and the same injury might keep him sidelined Sunday, but the Thunder will wait until Sunday to determine if he can recover. If that's not the case, then Kenrich Williams could be in line to have a more significant role and could even start in Hayward's place.

Jalen Williams - Remains out for SundayWilliams (ankle) is out to face the Hornets on Sunday.
ImpactWilliams is set to miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a nagging ankle injury, and the Thunder are doing the right thing by giving him time to rest, as they need him to be at full strength for the playoffs.

ImpactHaliburton is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 28 on Sunday, as the Pacers and Heat are both fighting to stay outside of the Play-In Tournament. If Haliburton is ruled out against Miami, T.J. McConnell will likely receive increased playing time.

Jalen Smith - Gets questionable tagSmith (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Heat.
ImpactSmith sprained his left ankle in Friday's 126-112 win over the Thunder. Prior to getting injured, he recorded 12 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 13 minutes. More clarity on his status against Miami should come once he tests out his ankle during pregame warmups, but Isaiah Jackson would likely be the prime beneficiary as frontcourt depth if Smith does not get the green light.
