Breaking News on Jalen Williams's Physical Condition Before Game 3 of OKC-Spurs

Concern for the Oklahoma City Thunder regarding the physical condition of Jalen Williams. The Oklahoma team's star will be evaluated "day by day" after suffering a new injury to the left hamstring, as reported by Shams Charania.

Williams has aggravated the same muscle problem that had recently kept him off the court, and his availability for the third game of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs is in doubt. The player traveled with the team to San Antonio on Thursday and is expected to be listed as "questionable" for the Friday game.

The forward could only play seven minutes in the Thunder's victory in the second game of the series before leaving the game due to physical discomfort.

Williams' season has been marked by physical problems. The player has suffered injuries to both hamstrings throughout the season and had recently missed six games due to a grade 1 strain in the left hamstring before returning at the start of the series against San Antonio.

Despite the challenges, Williams had arrived in great form for the playoffs. In the first postseason game, he scored 22 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and made six assists, and before getting injured against the Phoenix Suns in the second game, he had accumulated 19 points and four assists in just 23 minutes.

In these Western Finals, the player was one of the standouts for the Thunder in the first game of the series against the Spurs, finishing with 26 points, seven rebounds, and three assists in a double-overtime loss.

Physical problems throughout the year

The 2025-26 season has been particularly challenging for Williams. After being selected last year in the All-NBA Third Team and becoming a key player on the Thunder's title campaign, he had to undergo surgery on his right wrist during the summer.

This issue caused him to miss the first 19 games of the season, and he subsequently was absent for extended periods due to a right hamstring injury, worsened after his return before the All-Star break.
