Jalen Williams Limited in Game 6 Return
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams produced one point and one assist in Thursday's 118-91 Game 6 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. He went 0-for-1 from the field and 1-for-2 at the line in only 10 minutes, returning after missing the previous three games with a hamstring strain. Williams also came off the bench for the first time since his rookie season, so this looked more like a controlled reintroduction than a normal workload. He averaged 17.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists during the regular season, but his Game 7 value depends heavily on whether Oklahoma City is ready to loosen his role.

Jalen Williams is Active for Game 6
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) is active ahead of Thursday's Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs. Williams is back in action for the first time since Game 2 of this series. This is great news for the Thunder, who can certainly benefit from his two-way ability. Despite being active, the Thunder will stick with the same starting five from Game 5. Jared McCain scored 20 points during that game and will remain the starter even with Williams healthy. Williams should be a solid contributor off the bench, but his overall fantasy value will take a hit with him playing with the second unit.

Jalen Williams Listed as Questionable for Game 6
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs. The All-NBA wing reaggravated his left hamstring in Game 2 after just seven minutes and has missed three straight contests. He was tagged questionable ahead of Games 4 and 5 before being ruled out at tip-off both times, so fantasy managers should expect a similar pre-game evaluation. With the Thunder up 3-2 and a chance to close out the series, Williams has motivation to push. If he sits again, Jared McCain holds the start after a 20-point Game 5, with Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso handling the bulk of the perimeter creation. Ajay Mitchell (calf) is also questionable, which would further thin the backcourt rotation.

Jalen Williams is Ruled Out for Game 5 on Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) has been officially ruled out ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs. Williams hasn't played since he re-aggravated his hamstring during Game 2 of this series. The hope is that Williams can get back on the court before this series is over. The Thunder will also be without Ajay Mitchell (calf) for Tuesday's contest. That should mean Cason Wallace and Jared McCain take on bigger roles in the rotation. Neither has been a great fantasy option, but Wallace might have the edge, assuming he moves into the starting five once again.

Jalen Williams is Tagged as Questionable for Game 5
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs. Williams hasn't suited up for a game since re-aggravating his hamstring injury during Game 2 of this series. The team will likely wait and see how Wililams' feels closer to game-time before making a final decision on his status. Jared McCain and Cason Wallace would be in line for extended playing time again, assuming Williams misses his third straight contest. Neither player is an exciting DFS option, but McCain might be the better of the two because of his scoring ability.

Chet Holmgren Has a Quiet Offensive Night on Sunday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren recorded 10 points, nine rebounds, two assists, and one block in Sunday's 103-82 Game 4 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The 24-year-old struggled to find his stroke, going 3-for-8 from the field and 4-for-6 at the free-throw line. Holmgren's quiet offensive night mirrored the larger issues for the Thunder, who shot a franchise-worst 33 percent against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs' defense. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was also contained, finishing with just 19 points in the blowout defeat. Holmgren remains a steady interior presence, but he must rediscover his scoring rhythm to help the defending champions reclaim the series advantage in Tuesday's Game 5.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama Lead All-NBA First Team
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama headline the 2025-26 All-NBA First Team, which was announced on Sunday. They are joined by Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets), Luka Doncic (Los Angeles Lakers), and Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons). For Wembanyama, this marks his first All-NBA Team selection. He has been named to the All-Defensive Team twice. Before him, Kawhi Leonard was the last Spurs player named to the All-NBA First Team, earning the honor in 2016 and 2017.

Jalen Williams Won't Play Sunday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night. He will sit out a second consecutive game after re-injuring his left hamstring in Game 2. Ajay Mitchell (calf) will join Williams on the sidelines on Sunday night, opening up a lot of extra playing time for Jared McCain and Cason Wallace. McCain has more scoring ability than Wallace, who is a jack-of-all-trades guy. However, both players look like good DFS options on Sunday.

Jalen Williams Questionable for Sunday Night
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. He is considered day-to-day due to a left hamstring injury and didn't play in Game 3. With the Thunder's bench erupting for 76 points on Friday, the team did just fine without Williams in Game 3, securing a 2-1 series lead. As a result, the reigning champions have no reason to hurry Williams' return. Ajay Mitchell (calf) started in Williams' place but has been ruled out for Game 4, potentially giving Jared McCain a new opportunity to shine after his 24-point performance on Friday night. Cason Wallace also benefits from the injury situation.

Jaylin Williams Catches Fire From Deep Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams provided 18 points, five rebounds, one assist, two steals, and five three-pointers in Friday's 123-108 Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs. The 23-year-old shot 5-for-7 from the field and 3-for-3 at the line, giving Oklahoma City a major lift during a night when its bench produced a franchise playoff record 76 points. Williams averaged only 7.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists during the regular season, so this was a major scoring spike. His stretch-frontcourt shooting gives Oklahoma City another rotation wrinkle entering Game 4.

Jalen Williams Won't Play Friday Night
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Unfortunately, Williams won't be able to play through a left hamstring injury he sustained in Game 2. The team initially listed Williams as questionable for Friday's contest. Cason Wallace started the second half in Williams' place in Game 2 and could have a larger role once again. At the same time, Ajay Mitchell has previously started in Williams' absence. Guys like Isaiah Joe and Jared McCain could pick up extra shifts in the rotation as well.

Jalen Williams Questionable for Game 3 Against Spurs
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) has been officially listed as questionable for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. In Game 2, Williams was limited to seven minutes, exiting the action due to left hamstring tightness. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Williams is considered day-to-day. Fortunately, it appears Williams has avoided a major injury, but it looks likely he will miss at least one or two games. Due to Williams' hamstring issues, the Thunder have used Ajay Mitchell as a starter in the postseason, boosting his fantasy appeal. However, Cason Wallace was trusted with a starting role in the second half of Game 2 against San Antonio on Wednesday night.

Jalen Williams Suffers Another Hamstring Injury
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) was limited to seven minutes in Wednesday's Game 2 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. He left the action in the first quarter and was ruled out early in the third due to left hamstring tightness. In Game 1, Williams returned from a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, which kept him sidelined for six contests. This season, he has also had two spells out due to issues with his right hamstring. According to ESPN's Tim McMahon, Williams will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his injury. It looks like Williams could be forced to miss another stretch of games, giving Ajay Mitchell or Cason Wallace an opportunity to start.

Jalen Williams Productive in Comeback Game
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams made an all-around impact in Monday's Game 1 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. In his first game in nearly four weeks, Williams had 26 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. He finished 11-for-25 from the field, including 1-for-3 at the free-throw line. Williams logged 37 minutes, proving he's fully healthy after overcoming a left hamstring injury. While the Thunder did well without Williams, his return may prove essential in the Western Conference Finals after the Spurs' impressive performance on Monday.

Jalen Williams Officially Available for Game 1 Against Spurs
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. Williams injured his left hamstring in the second game of the postseason and sat out the entire second-round matchup against the Lakers. However, he has now been officially cleared to return after Williams noted earlier this week that he's "healthy" for the start of the Conference Finals. Williams' return will hurt Ajay Mitchell's fantasy stock the most, as he will be bumped to the second unit. It will also affect Chet Holmgren, who's had more offensive responsibilities without Williams.
