Fox (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals versus Oklahoma City. Fox missed the first two games of the series because of a nagging high-ankle sprain. The 28-year-old returned for Game 3 on Friday, although he was forced to briefly exit the contest after re-aggravating the injury. While most assumed Fox would carry some kind of injury designation ahead of Game 4, that's not the case, so it appears he will be out there unless he suffers a setback.

While most assumed Fox would carry some kind of injury designation ahead of Game 4, that's not the case, so it appears he will be out there unless he suffers a setback.
Harper (adductor) is not on the injury report for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Thunder on Sunday. Harper played through the adductor issue during Friday's Game 3 loss, and Saturday, head coach Mitch Johnson said that Harper was expected to play Sunday. With Harper not even listed on the injury report, it's safe to assume he'll be available for Game 4.
Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals versus San Antonio, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports. Williams has been bothered by a left-hamstring issue. After missing time throughout the playoffs, he returned for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, logging 37 minutes. However, the 25-year-old re-aggravated the injury in Game 2 and wasn't available for Game 3 on Friday. If Williams doesn't suit up for Sunday's clash with the Spurs, Cason Wallace, Jaylin Williams and Jared McCain should continue to see more action, considering Ajay Mitchell (calf), who started in Game 3, has already been ruled out.
Mitchell won't play in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Spurs on Sunday due to a right soleus strain, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports. Mitchell exited Friday's Game 3 win over the Spurs after tweaking his right calf, and now he will miss Game 4, which should result in more minutes for Isaiah Joe. Mitchell's next chance to play will come in Game 5 on Tuesday.
Head coach Mitch Johnson said Saturday that he expects Harper (adductor) to play in Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com. Johnson stated Saturday that he expects both Harper and De'Aaron Fox (ankle) to be available for Sunday's crucial matchup. Harper battled through right adductor soreness to log 17 minutes off the bench in Friday's Game 3 loss, finishing with six points, three rebounds and two assists. While he'll likely continue coming off the bench behind Fox, Harper should see a sizable role as a reserve playmaker while the Spurs look to even the series.
Head coach Mitch Johnson said Saturday that he expects Fox (ankle) to play in Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. Fox missed the first two games of the series due to a right ankle sprain but returned for Friday's Game 3 loss. Although he appeared to aggravate the ankle injury in the third quarter before briefly exiting the game, the star guard appears likely to play in Sunday's pivotal Game 4 as the Spurs attempt to avoid a 3-1 series deficit. He provided 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 31 minutes in Game 3.
Harper finished with six points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes during Friday's 123-108 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. Harper shed a questionable tag due to right adductor soreness to suit up Friday, though he moved to the bench in De'Aaron Fox's return. Harper struggled with efficiency and scored in single digits for the first time since Game 3 of the second round against Minnesota. Fox is clearly still bothered by his ankle injury, and if he's unable to play in Game 4, Harper would likely rejoin the first unit.
Castle accumulated 14 points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 123-108 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. Castle turned in an abysmal shooting performance, though he got to the charity stripe often and still finished as San Antonio's fourth-leading scorer. He also paced the team in assists and committed just one turnover after logging 20 giveaways in the first two outings of the series. Through three third-round appearances, he's averaging 18.7 points, 8.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 combined steals-plus-blocks in 40.7 minutes per contest.
