The Oklahoma City Thunder are on the verge of making the NBA Finals for a second straight year, but will star Jalen Williams play tonight against the San Antonio Spurs? Williams has missed most of the playoffs with a hamstring injury.
If that weren't bad enough for OKC, he is listed as questionable with a left hamstring injury for Game 6. This is the fourth-straight Game 4 that he is listed as questionable. Given his struggles with his hamstring, it's entirely possible that he sits out Game 6.
Oklahoma City Thunder's full injury report against the Spurs
In addition to Williams being on the injury report, Thomas Sorber will miss Game 6 with him out with an ACL tear. Additionally, Ajay Mitchell is out with a Soleus strain.
The Thunder have survived, thanks in large part to their depth. In fact, they could very well eliminate the Spurs even without Williams, Sorber, and Mitchell in Game 6.
San Antonio Spurs' full injury report against the Thunder
The Spurs have no major players that appear on the injury report. That being said, De'Aaron Fox is playing with a high ankle sprain while Dylan Harper is also dealing with an injury.
However, neither is expected to miss Game 6. With the Spurs being relatively healthy, they are hoping to force a Game 7. Moreover, they are hoping to take advantage of the Thunder being short-handed.
The Thunder will have their work cut out for themselves if Williams doesn't play. Nevertheless, they may have a reason to sit him for Game 6. If he were to sit out, then he would have more than two weeks to recover from his hamstring injury by the time the NBA Finals started. We'll see whether he plays in Game 6, which is tonight at 8:30 pm EST.
