Thunder's Jalen Williams to be reevaluated in 'a couple of weeks'
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams has a right hamstring strain and will be reevaluated in "a couple of weeks," a significant loss for the defending NBA champions.
The 6-foot-6 Williams was named an All-Star last season for the first time and was selected all-defensive second team and All-NBA third team. He is averaging 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists this season and has helped the Thunder compile a league-best 35-8 record.
He was hurt during the second quarter of Saturday's 122-120 loss at Miami. The team said then that he had right thigh soreness, though he grabbed his right hamstring as he limped off the court.
