OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Thunder will be without star wing Jalen Williams in Game 7 on Saturday night against the San Antonio Spurs.
Williams aggravated his left hamstring injury in Game 2. He missed Games 3, 4 and 5 but played only 10 minutes in Game 6 off the bench in the Thunder's 118-91 loss.
"He's obviously not 100%," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. "He didn't know what to expect. I didn't know what to expect. So, it was a matter of getting him out there in kind of an insulated role and see what he can bring to the team. He's an All-Star player, he's an All-NBA player. He hasn't done a full return to play [protocol] like he would if this was the regular season, and yet, he just wants to do whatever he can to try to contribute whatever he can to the team.
"I give him a lot of credit to get himself out there. He did the best he could. He's certainly not the reason we lost."
