OKC Thunder awaits Jalen Williams injury update on left hamstring for Game 3 vs Spurs
OKC Thunder star Jalen Williams exited Game 2 of the Western Conference finals with left hamstring tightness, raising concerns.
The OKC Thunder earned a 122-113 home win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, but it saw star forward Jalen Williams get injured in the process. Williams left the game late in the first quarter due to left hamstring tightness and did not return. He finished with four points and one rebound in seven minutes.
It's an injury that's all too familiar for Williams, who returned for Game 1 on Monday after being sidelined since April 22 due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain . He also missed time on two separate occasions during the regular season due to a right hamstring strain. Williams' availability is unclear moving forward, as Game 3 is scheduled for 7:30 p.
m. CT Friday in San Antonio. The best-of-seven series is tied at 1-1.
"I don't deal in hypotheticals, especially when doctors are involved," Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said after the game when asked about the possibility of Williams missing time. "I just let them tell us what's going on. He'll get checked out in the morning, we'll see where he's at and we'll update accordingly.
