Thunder center Nenad Krstic won't play against the Rockets on Sunday night because of a sore Achilles.

"Nenad will be out tonight and then will be day-to-day," said coach Scott Brooks. "We'll start Etan (Thomas) in his place, it should be a good match-up."

The Thunder will suit up just nine players against Houston as Nick Collison, Kevin Ollie, Shaun Livingston and Kyle Weaver are out as well.

"Weaver will have surgery tomorrow on his shoulder and Ollie will have a minor procedure on his knee. We're not sure about a timetable yet on getting those guys back," Brooks told reporters.

"And Shaun (Livingston) is starting to practice more but he's still out."
