The Thunder will be without seven players, including three projected starters, for its first preseason game Saturday night.
Luguentz Dort, Darius Bazley, Al Horford, Justin Jackson, Ty Jerome, Darius Miller and Josh Hall will not travel with the team to San Antonio, coach Mark Daigneault said Friday.
Daigneault cited various reasons, including NBA guidelines, internal camp management and "some nicks and bruises."
The list doesn't include Trevor Ariza, who remains away from the team indefinitely due to a personal matter.
The Thunder and Spurs will tip-off at 6 p.m. Saturday. It will be the first of three preseason games for the Thunder.
