Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will not suit up for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee. He's been unavailable for the entire year so far because of a hamstring injury and won't be ready to return for the 2024 NBA Cup final. Kenrich Williams will continue to provide backup for starting center Isaiah Hartenstein. However, the 30-year-old has very little fantasy appeal, having averaged 7.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 13.7 minutes this month.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will miss another contest on Tuesday against Dallas. He's yet to play this season due to a right hamstring strain. It's unclear when Williams will be ready to return to the lineup. The 22-year-old would add an extra frontcourt option to the Thunder, although playing opportunities have dried up for Williams, with Isaiah Hartenstein in town this season. With Chet Holmgren (pelvic) also on the shelf, Hartenstein plays a big role for the team and will look to maintain his double-double form on Tuesday. Through his first eight appearances with the Thunder, Hartenstein has averaged 11.8 points and 12.8 rebounds with 4.5 assists.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hamstring) appears to have suffered a setback during a workout. As a result, Williams will be shut down and re-evaluated in four to six weeks. Williams has yet to play in a game this season, so fantasy managers will have to wait a little longer. Osumane Dieng has been filling in at center, but doesn't offer great fantasy value right now. Chet Holmgren is gaining the most value from this at the moment.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hamstring) is listed as out ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Williams has yet to make his season debut while he continues to deal with a right hamstring strain. His next chance to play would be against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Once healthy, Williams should be the primary backup to Chet Holmgren. Until then, Ousmane Dieng should see increased playing time without Williams available on Sunday. Dieng finished with six points and six rebounds across 20 minutes of action during their last contest.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) hasn't recovered in time to be ready for Thursday's season opener against Denver. He missed the preseason with a right hamstring strain and hasn't been cleared for the start of the regular season. The Thunder look very thin inside the paint, with Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) also on the shelf. Chet Holmgren will be asked to do a lot of heavy lifting early in the year. He faces a very difficult matchup against Nikola Jokic on Thursday but could be dominant in the next few games. The Thunder could also run a lot of small-ball lineups with no adequate backup for Holmgren.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will sit out the preseason. Williams has sustained a right hamstring strain, and the team will re-evaluate him after the preseason. The Thunder kick off their regular-season slate on Oct. 24 versus Denver. Williams saw his playing time drop during his sophomore campaign in 2023-24, as he averaged 13.0 minutes across 69 games. The addition of Isaiah Hartenstein will make his life even more difficult in Oklahoma City. With Kenrich Williams (knee) also out, we should see a lot of Ousmane Dieng in preseason.
Jaylin Williams Removed From Injury Report Against Heat
Oklahoma City Thunder center Jaylin Williams did not appear on the first injury report submitted by the team for their Friday night game against the Miami Heat. The young big has missed the last three games but also hasn't received the minutes that constitute starting him in most fantasy leagues. Williams will likely return to his usual 15-17 minutes per contest while Mike Muscala will chip away at some of those minutes after signing with the team on March 2. Williams averages 3.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 12.6 minutes so far this season.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus Portland. It will be the third consecutive game he will be out with a left knee sprain. Williams is one of the best rebounders on the Thunder. As a struggling rebound team, OKC has missed the 21-year-old. Bismack Biyombo and Mike Muscala will have to step up instead of Williams. However, Biyombo and Muscala are not factors in fantasy play.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (knee) won't play on Monday versus the Lakers. He's out for a second consecutive game with a left knee sprain. Williams has been a good energy guy off the bench and one of the best rebounders on the team. A struggling rebounding team like OKC will definitely feel his absence. Bismack Biyombo and Mike Muscala will have a chance to get extra work without Williams, but they aren't fantasy-relevant.
Oklahoma City Thunder center/forward Jaylin Williams is now officially available for the team's first in-season tournament game against the Golden State Warriors. The young big man is making his season debut after having to sit out the team's first five games due to a hamstring issue. He'll likely take away some minutes from Ousmane Dieng and Olivier Sarr, but Chet Holmgren will remain in the starting lineup. If any fantasy managers in very deep leagues are in need of some rebounding, Williams is a solid option and likely available on the waiver wire.
