Jalen Williams exited in the third quarter of the Thunder's game against the Suns after appearing to suffer a hamstring injury.
Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams may have hit another speed bump in what has been an injury-plagued year. The 2025 All-Star exited during the third quarter of the defending champions' April 22 game against the Phoenix Suns with an apparent hamstring injury. He grabbed at his left hamstring immediately following a layup attempt with 6:28 to go and was subbed out a short time later, at 5:53, for Cason Wallace.
He was questionable to return, per the ESPN broadcast , but never came back. Jalen Williams left Game 2 vs. the Suns with an apparent hamstring injury.
