McCain won't start Saturday's Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

Over four appearances off the bench in this series, McCain has averaged 11.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 23.8 minutes per contest.
Wallace will start Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on Saturday, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports. Wallace will move back into the starting lineup in place of Jared McCain with the Thunder making a temporary change in Game 6. Across 14 postseason games, Wallace is averaging 8.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs. Williams aggravated his left hamstring injury in Game 2 and missed the next three contests before returning for Thursday's Game 6 loss. The star forward played just 10 minutes and took only one shot, chipping in one point and one assist. He's now been ruled out for Game 7 due to injury management, so his next chance to play will come in the NBA Finals against New York if the Thunder win Saturday. With Williams sidelined, Jared McCain, Kenrich Williams and Cason Wallace will likely see increased run in Game 7.
Mitchell (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs. Mitchell is set to miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a right calf strain. If the Thunder are able to beat the Spurs on Saturday, his next chance to play would come Wednesday in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Each of Jared McCain, Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace are all options to step up for Oklahoma City in Game 7, especially now that Jalen Williams (hamstring) has also been confirmed as out.
Robinson, who underwent surgery on his broken right pinky, fully intends to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. When the injury was first announced, no timetable was given. However, there seems to be much more optimism about his status following the surgery, and Robinson is planning to wear a brace on his hand moving forward. Across 13 playoff games, Robinson is averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per contest.
Fox totaled five points (1-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and seven assists across 26 minutes during Thursday's 118-91 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals. Fox went 1-for-9 from the field, continuing what has been a lean run of production, particularly on the offensive end. In four games over the past week, he has averaged just 10.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 33.3 percent from the field and 71.4 percent from the line. Despite his struggles, San Antonio is now only one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals. A proven clutch performer, the hope is that Fox will turn things around when the two teams meet in Game 7 on Saturday.
Harper amassed 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes during Thursday's 118-91 win over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals. Harper finished with double digits for the first time in the past four games, providing the Spurs with a much-needed impact off the bench. His 18-point output matched what he was able to do in the previous three games combined, highlighting his recent struggles. With Game 7 taking place in Oklahoma City on Saturday, Harper will look to build on this performance, as San Antonio looks to advance to the NBA Finals against the Knicks.
McCain ended with 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Thursday's 118-91 loss to San Antonio in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals. McCain scored double digits for the fourth time in the past five games, continuing to play a substantial role in the absence of Ajay Mitchell (foot). McCain has now started in back-to-back games, averaging 16.5 points and 2.5 three-pointers. Thursday's loss sees the series tied at 3-3, with Game 7 tabled for Saturday. If Mitchell is once again ruled out, expect to see McCain in an elevated role.
