What happened
Aday Mara has already entered Oklahoma City’s rotation, including an opening-night appearance at the rim, after coming into the season viewed as a longer-term project.
He is now playing nearly 20 minutes a night off the bench while Chet Holmgren is out, and he is producing 8.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
LINEUP CONTEXT
Holmgren’s absence is keeping Mara in a larger rotation slot, so Oklahoma City’s frontcourt minutes remain unsettled until Holmgren returns.
