The Toronto Raptors will be down their rookie stopper against the NBA’s best team.
However, guards Ja’Kobe Walter (hip) and Immanuel Quickley (ankle), who were listed as questionable earlier Sunday, were made available for the showdown.
Sunday will be the fourth straight game that Murray-Boyles has missed.
Murray-Boyles was injured in last Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers when he jammed his thumb on Luka Doncic’s hip.
Quickley, 26, missed two games earlier in January due to back spasms.
However, in four games since, he’s made over half of his three-point attempts, including a 40-point masterpiece in a win over the Golden State Warriors.
For the season, Quickley is averaging 17 points, 6.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game over 44 contests.
Jakob Poeltl, who remains out due to back issues, returned to Toronto to receive “targeted pain relief treatment,” the team said.
There is no timeline on his return to action, per the Raptors.
The 30-year-old centre has played just seven minutes since Dec. 15 as he’s managed a back injury which has plagued him throughout the season.
In 21 games, he is averaging 9.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per contest.
Meanwhile, guard Aaron Wiggins was listed as questionable for the Thunder, who will be without Jalen Williams, Ajay Mitchell, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Hartenstein, Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topic.
The Thunder lead the NBA with a 37-9 record, though they are coming off a double-OT loss to the Indiana Pacers in a Finals rematch on Friday. The Raptors (28-19) sit fourth in the East.
