Rotowire
The Thunder list Williams (hamstring) out Saturday against the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Williams will miss his fifth straight playoff game due to a left hamstring strain after sustaining the injury in Game 2 of the Thunder's first-round series versus the Suns. The 24-year-old had been limited to just 33 appearances during the regular season, missing time due to a pair of wrist surgeries along with a pair of right hamstring strains. If Oklahoma City is able to win Saturday and push its series lead to 3-0, the Thunder could continue to hold Williams out for Game 4 with the aim of ensuring he's closer to full health for the start of the Western Conference Finals.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Out at least one week
Rotowire
Williams is considered week-to-week with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
The star forward exited Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Suns in the third quarter due to an apparent left hamstring injury, and an MRI has diagnosed him with a strain. The timeline for a return likely rules Williams out for Oklahoma City's next three postseason games in this first-round series, though the Thunder could buy him more time to recover if they're able to sweep the Suns. Meanwhile, Isaiah Joe, Cason Wallace and Ajay Mitchell will all be asked to step up in Williams' stead.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Productive in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Williams closed with 18 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 victory over the Clippers.
After sitting out the front half of a back-to-back Tuesday, Williams was back in the lineup and handled his biggest workload in seven games since returning from a hamstring strain. Oklahoma City's focus has been on making sure the fourth-year forward was 100 percent for the playoffs, so Williams' court time could be erratic over the final two games of the regular season. Since getting back on the court in late March, he's averaging 15.4 points, 5.7 assists, 4.4 boards and 0.9 steals in 25.9 minutes while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor.

Williams has scored at least 18 points in three of his four appearances since returning to the lineup while shooting 50 percent from the floor, but just 22.2 percent from deep, in that span.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Williams totaled 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 131-113 victory over Chicago.
Williams bounced back after posting a seven-point dud (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) in the loss to the Celtics on Wednesday, and now he's scored exactly 18 points in two of his three outings since returning from his hamstring injury. Look for Williams to continue operating as one of the main secondary options on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. From a volume perspective, it's worth noting that his 16 shot attempts were his highest since he took 17 against the Lakers on Feb. 9.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Struggles with shot in loss
Rotowire
Williams chipped in seven points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.
Williams was playing just his second game since missing multiple weeks with a hamstring injury, and he had a rough performance against one of the league's best defenses. Williams was coming off an 18-point performance in the win over the 76ers on Monday, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about one subpar game. Williams needs to shake off the rust and be as healthy as possible with the playoffs right around the corner. During that ramp-up process, he should continue to operate as the Thunder's No. 2 option on offense, giving him a decent floor on most slates.

Williams (hamstring) totaled 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists and four rebounds across 20 minutes in Monday's 123-103 win over the 76ers.
Williams made his return from a 16-game absence due to a right hamstring strain and turned in an effective performance in a comfortable Thunder win. The 24-year-old has endured a frustrating season, with injuries limiting him to just 27 games thus far. He's now averaging 17.5 points per game, but that mark is his lowest since his 2022-23 rookie campaign, and he's converting at career-low rates from the field (48.3 percent) and three-point range (31.3 percent). The priority for the Thunder will be ensuring that Williams is healthy and at is at his best come the postseason as the team aims to capture its second straight championship.
