The Thunder take a huge loss with their starting forward out due to injury.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka will miss the remainder of the playoffs with a left calf injury, reports Darnell Mayberry of the Oklahoman.

Ibaka averaged 12.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game through the first two rounds of the playoffs. The Thunder are coming off of a 108-94 victory last night over the Los Angeles Clippers and have advanced to the Western Conference Finals with the win. The Dynamic Duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will need their front line of Kendrick Perkins, Nick Collison and Steven Adams to step up big time if they have any hopes of competing with the Spurs.

The Thunder will face the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the WCF on Monday night at 9 PM EST on TNT.
