Jalen Williams is expected to make his return from a hamstring injury in Oklahoma City, where the Thunder host the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the 2026 Western Conference Finals, with the team listing the All-Star swingman as 'available' on the official injury report.
The news came after nearly a month of cautious management from the Thunder, who have been without Williams since 22 April because of a Grade 1 strain in his left hamstring. That kind of injury usually sidelines a player for between one and three weeks. Oklahoma City, however, have been winning so comfortably that they could afford to be patient, even with a player who was named an All-Star in 2025 and is central to their plans at both ends of the floor.
