"We'll take a look at it in the next couple of days, and we'll update you guys when appropriate... "Any assumption about time missed is this hypothetical at this point, so I'm not going to comment on that. " It's been a rough season for Williams ā an All-NBA player a season ago during the Thunder's championship run ā who played in just 33 games for the team in this campaign.
