Thunder coach Mark Daigneault addressed reporters before Saturday’s game, sharing an update on the injury status of wing Jalen Williams.

Williams will not be available for Saturday’s Game 7 against San Antonio, ruling him out of a crucial contest for the Thunder.

Daigneault confirmed that Williams did not do any further damage to his strained left hamstring by playing on Thursday, offering some positive news amid the absence.

The coach’s comments came in a pregame session with reporters, relayed by Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic.

Williams has missed most of the series due to the hamstring complaint, making his availability a significant talking point throughout the matchup.

The fact that no setback occurred in Thursday’s outing will be seen as an encouraging sign for the Thunder’s medical staff moving forward.

Playing through a strained hamstring always carries risk, and confirmation that no aggravation occurred will provide some relief to the Oklahoma City organisation.

Williams has been one of the Thunder’s key contributors this season, making his absence from Game 7 a notable factor in how the matchup shapes up.

San Antonio will be aware of the personnel situation heading into what promises to be a high-stakes deciding game on Saturday.

The Thunder will need to adjust their approach without Williams available, leaning on the rest of their roster to compensate for his absence in Game 7.
