Thunder's Jalen Williams Leaves With Right Leg Injury, To Be Evaluated Sunday

Oklahoma City listed the All-NBA wing out with right thigh soreness as reporting indicates Chet Holmgren would likely shoulder more offense if he misses time.

Overview

  • Williams exited Saturday’s loss in Miami about midway through the second quarter after grabbing at his hamstring and limping off under his own power.
  • The Thunder officially ruled him out with right thigh soreness, and head coach Mark Daigneault said he would undergo an examination on Sunday.
  • No diagnosis or return timetable has been announced following the initial in-game assessment.
  • Williams did not address reporters postgame and shared an ominous Instagram image referenced by The Athletic.
  • The fourth-year standout missed the first 19 games after two right-wrist surgeries and has averaged 16.8 points, 5.6 assists, and 4.8 rebounds in 24 appearances this season.
