  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Gets 17 minutes in return

    Williams (knee) played 17 minutes off the bench in Friday's 107-100 win over Miami, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, one steal and one block.

    After missing the Thunder's previous three games with a left knee sprain, Williams slid back into the rotation as Oklahoma City's backup center. The second-year player is averaging 5.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 three-pointers, 0.6 blocks and 0.4 steals in 15.2 minutes per game over his five appearances since the All-Star break.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Cleared for Friday

    Williams (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's matchup with Miami.

    Williams had missed the Thunder's previous three games with a left knee sprain, but he looks like he'll be available off the bench Friday. Before his recent absence, Williams had appeared in four straight contests while averaging 5.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 three-pointers and 0.5 blocks in 14.8 minutes.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Another absence coming Wednesday

    Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Portland.

    Williams will miss his third consecutive game due to a left knee sprain. The second-year center is averaging just 12.6 minutes per contest on the season, so his absence won't be a major one for the Thunder frontcourt. Look for Oklahoma City to turn to Mike Muscala or Bismack Biyombo to fill in at center when starter Chet Holmgren is off the court.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Downgraded to out

    Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers.

    Williams will miss a second straight game due to a left knee sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Portland. In Williams' absence, Aaron Wiggins and Gordon Hayward are candidates for a few extra minutes off the bench.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Won't face Phoenix

    Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns.

    Williams will be sidelined with a left knee sprain, which he apparently sustained in Thursday's 132-118 loss to the Spurs. The second-year big man has held a minor rotational role for the Thunder of late, averaging 5.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in 14.8 minutes over his last four appearances.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Diagnosed with left knee sprain

    Coach Mark Daigneault announced Friday that Williams has been diagnosed with a left knee sprain, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

    Williams presumably didn't practice Friday, and his status moving forward remains unclear. Daigneault said the team would provide more information when available, so it appears we're in the wait-and-see part of the evaluation. The Thunder's next game is Sunday in Phoenix, and Williams can be considered questionable, at best, for that contest.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Productive off bench

    Williams racked up five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 112-95 victory over the Rockets.

    Williams had a strong night off the bench despite seeing limited minutes. Posting reliable fantasy numbers behind Chet Holmgren isn't easy, but Williams has made the most of his opportunities with 5.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 three-pointers over his last four games in just 15.8 minutes.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Will play Tuesday

    Williams (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz.

    Williams has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with left Achilles tendinitis. The second-year big man will likely continue to serve as one of the Thunder's primary backups in the frontcourt.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Questionable for Tuesday

    Williams is questionable for Tuesday's game against Utah due to left Achilles tendinitis.

    Williams has suited up in 10 consecutive contests for the Thunder, averaging 4.1 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game. His status will need to be monitored in advance of Tuesday's game, as Achilles injuries can carry risk of aggravation.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Logs just six minutes Monday

    Williams registered three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one rebound in six minutes during Monday's 112-105 loss to the Lakers.

    Williams was back in the rotation Monday, albeit for a short amount of time. He ended with three points in six minutes, continuing his poor season. He is the 321st-ranked player in nine-category leagues, averaging 3.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per contest. Outside of extremely deep leagues, Williams holds no fantasy value.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Will play Friday

    Williams (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

    Williams left Wednesday's win over the Knicks due to a right hip contusion and was listed as questionable for Friday, but he'll suit up for a 25th straight game. However, he's not likely to see significant playing time, as he's averaging just 6.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Questionable for Friday

    Williams (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

    Williams exited Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a right hip contusion, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up two days later. He's played single-digit minutes in each of his last five appearances, but Chet Holmgren and Kenrich Williams could see a few additional minutes if the 21-year-old is unable to play.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Exits Wednesday with bruised hip

    Williams has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Knicks with a right hip contusion, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

    Williams will finish the contest scoreless (0-1 3Pt) with a pair of rebounds over seven minutes. The second-year player has appeared in each of Oklahoma City's last 24 games, but he's been a fringe member of the rotation, as he's seen single-digit minutes in five consecutive contests.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Scores three in loss

    Williams scored three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and added six rebounds and three assists in Thursday's 128-123 loss to the Kings.

    Williams' minutes have fluctuated this season, but he has found ways to contribute off the bench when given the chance, whether that be through scoring or rebounding. In his last five appearances, Williams has averaged 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.2 steals over 11.6 minutes per game, and it appears his role backing up Chet Holmgren will remain constant for the foreseeable future.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Season-low four minutes

    Williams ended with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across four minutes during Thursday's 128-109 win over Golden State.

    Williams missed the first five games of the season due to a hamstring injury but played double-digit minutes in six straight matchups after that. During that stretch, he averaged 4.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 14.5 minutes per game. Last year, Williams was a regular fixture in the starting lineup, but he's been pushed to a bench role with Chet Holmgren healthy and dominating. It was surprising to see Williams' playing time limited during Thursday's blowout, but he should remain a key part of the Thunder's bench unit moving forward.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Part of rotation in season debut

    Williams (hamstring) logged six points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 15 minutes in Friday's 141-139 loss to the Warriors.

    Available for the first time all season after missing the Thunder's first five games with a hamstring strain, Williams stepped into the Oklahoma City rotation Friday, serving as the backup to starting center Chet Holmgren. With Holmgren having already established himself as one of the best young big men in the NBA, Williams likely won't have the opportunity to see his minutes increase much more from what he received Friday so long as Holmgren stays healthy.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Good to go against Golden State

    Williams (hamstring) is available for Friday's game versus the Warriors.

    Williams is set to make his season debut Friday after being upgraded from questionable to available with a hamstring injury. The second-year big man is expected to serve as the Thunder's backup center behind Chet Holmgren but could see a minutes restriction against the Warriors.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Questionable Friday

    Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.

    Williams hasn't yet made his season debut due to his hamstring injury, but he was recalled from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Wednesday after practicing with the team. If he's able to suit up against Golden State, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Returns to parent club

    The Thunder recalled Williams (hamstring) from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Wednesday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports. He remains out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

    Williams presumably took part in practice with the Blue earlier Wednesday, but he's not yet ready to make his season debut while he works his way back from a hamstring injury. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against Golden State.
