Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Bench role Thursday
Williams will come off the bench during Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Posts 14 points in preseason loss
Williams compiled 14 points (5-14 FG, 4-11 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots over 28 minutes in Monday's 106-89 loss to the Mavericks.
Williams flashed some of his perimeter skills with four three-pointers during the defeat, a facet that he's shown sparingly over his three-year tenure with the Thunder. The team gave the Arkansas product a hefty $24 million extension in the offseason, and we should see an uptick in minutes from the youngster after averaging only 16.7 minutes per game during the 2024-25 campaign. He will still be in a timeshare with Isaiah Hartenstein once the regular season begins.

The big man signed a three-year, $24 million extension this summer after averaging 5.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 16.7 minutes per game in 47 regular-season appearances (nine starts) during the 2024-25 campaign.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Agrees to extension
Williams signed a three-year, $24 million contract extension with the Thunder on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Williams is now locked in with the Thunder on a long-term deal. The 23-year-old center provided a spark off Oklahoma City's bench in the 2024-25 campaign, showing flashes of potential when given an increased role. He averaged 5.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 16.7 minutes per game in 47 regular-season appearances (nine starts) last season.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Fails to score again Wednesday
Williams racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across five minutes during Wednesday's 124-94 win over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
Williams failed to score for the fifth time in the past six games, two of which he failed to leave the bench. Despite recording three triple-doubles this season, Williams has been unable to carve out a consistent role for himself. In 10 games over the past month, he has averaged just 2.6 points and 1.9 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Plays well in 14 minutes
Williams closed Thursday's 119-107 loss to Denver in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals with eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 14 minutes.
Isaiah Hartenstein was in some foul trouble as he continued to match up with Nikola Jokic, so credit to Williams for stepping up with some quality minutes off the bench. Williams has been used sparingly in the postseason, averaging 9.5 minutes per night with 3.3 points and 1.8 rebounds.

The 22-year-old big man played 38 games in a reserve role during the regular season, averaging 4.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, shooting 41.6 percent from the field.
