Cason Wallace Enters Year 4 Healthy, Building on a Breakout 2025-26
newsroom · 1 h agoCason Wallace heads into the 2026-27 season healthy and not on the injury report, coming off a full 77-game season with Oklahoma City. The Kentucky product built a reputation as a steady two-way guard last season, and the Thunder are counting on more of the same as the opener approaches.
Where He Fits
Cason Wallace is entering his third season as a guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, wearing No. 22. He stands 6-3, 195 pounds, and turns 22 this year. Wallace came to the league out of Kentucky and has settled into a rotation role built around defense and efficient, low-usage offense. Last season he played in all 77 games for OKC, averaging 26.6 minutes a night. That workload put him firmly in the team's regular rotation rather than as a fringe piece. His usage rate of 14.1 percent last season shows he is not asked to create shots often; instead, he plays off the ball and lets the offense come to him while doing his damage on defense and in transition.
Last Season's Numbers
Wallace's per-game numbers last season: 8.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.4 blocks in 26.6 minutes across 77 games. He shot 43.2 percent from the field, 35.1 percent from three and 80.9 percent from the line, adding up to a true shooting mark of 53.8 percent. Those are efficient numbers for a guard who is not the first, second or even third scoring option. His turnover rate was low too, just 0.9 giveaways a game, which fits the profile of a player trusted to handle the ball in a complementary role without costing his team possessions.
The Defensive Numbers Stand Out
The steal number is the headline: 1.9 per game last season is a heavy total for a guard playing 26.6 minutes. Combined with a plus-minus of plus-6.9, the data points to a player whose value shows up more on the scoreboard impact than in the box score scoring column. Low turnovers (0.9 a game) paired with that steal rate suggest a guard who protects the ball on offense while creating extra possessions on the other end. For a team like Oklahoma City that leans on disruptive, attacking defense, that combination of ball security and takeaways is exactly the kind of role-player profile that keeps a guard on the floor deep into games.
Health Check
Cason Wallace is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history listed for him, and he played all 77 games last season, a sign of durability heading into this year. For a guard who logs real minutes off the bench or in the starting group, staying available for a full slate is part of his value. Nothing in the current report suggests any concern about his readiness for the season ahead. Thunder fans checking in on his health status can take the clean report as a good sign that he'll be part of the rotation from the jump.
What's Ahead
The 2026-27 season has not started yet for Wallace and the Thunder, so there is no current record to report. The opener is coming, and the numbers on hand are all from last season's 2025-26 campaign, when he played 77 games and posted his steadiest all-around production yet: 8.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.9 steals a night. With a clean bill of health and a full season of experience in that role behind him, Wallace projects to pick up where he left off once the games start counting again.
