Cleared for Tuesday Williams (ankle) has been removed from the injury report in advance of Tuesday's game against Utah.
Impact Williams' availability aligns with his ascension to questionable Monday. Oklahoma City, currently the top seed in the Western Conference, would likely not jeopardize the 22-year-old's health if he weren't fully healthy, so Williams is likely to reprise his standard workload Tuesday.

Upgraded to questionable Williams (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Utah.
Impact Williams is amid a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 22-year-old could be nearing a return. If he is ultimately unable to suit up Tuesday, Saturday's game against Dallas would represent his next opportunity.

Out Sunday, but shoots around Williams (ankle), who is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, was seen taking part in the Thunder's morning shootaround, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Impact The Thunder ruled Williams out more than 24 hours in advance of Sunday's contest, but his presence at shootaround at least offers hope that the second-year forward won't be in store for a lengthy absence. If he's able to practice in some capacity Monday, Williams would have a good chance at putting an end to his three-game absence Tuesday in Utah.

Officially out Sunday Williams (ankle) will not play Sunday versus Toronto, Brett Dawson of SelloutCrowd.com reports.
Impact Williams was not expected to be available, but being ruled out more than 24 hours in advance of Sunday's contest may imply that more absences will follow. His next opportunity to take the court would be Tuesday against Utah.

Expected to miss a few games Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said Wednesday that he'd be surprised if Williams (ankle) plays in the next couple of games, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Impact Williams has already been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with Denver due to a right ankle sprain he suffered against Minnesota. Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams are candidates to receive increased minutes in his absence.

Out for Wednesday Williams (ankle) will not play Wednesday versus Denver, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Williams being ruled out more than 24 hours in advance of Wednesday's showdown against Denver aligns with what appeared to be a serious twist of his right ankle in Monday's loss to Minnesota. Williams has been among the most efficient scorers in the league this season on a points per possession basis, so his absence will be a sizable loss for the Thunder.

Twists ankle Monday Williams rolled his ankle late in the fourth quarter of Monday's 107-101 loss to Minnesota and didn't appear to be putting any weight on his right foot as he exited the court, Tim...
Impact Williams stepped on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's foot while he was shuffling to defend the ball and tweaked the ankle prior to hobbling to the bench. The Thunder will likely send him in for X-rays and possibly an MRI to determine the extent of the ankle injury, but for now, Williams' status for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets appears to be a major question mark. Williams has suited up in every game for the Thunder since Nov. 28.

Scores 20 points in loss Williams logged 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound and three assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 120-104 loss to the Pistons.
Impact Williams didn't do much outside of scoring, but that's where most of his fantasy upside comes from in the first place. He showed glimpses of his talent as a rookie, but he's taken a sizable leap forward in his second year in the league, reaching the 15-point mark in all but one of his appearances during the current month. He's averaging 19.9 points per game while shooting 58 percent from the field across 15 January outings.

Well-rounded production Friday Williams had 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and seven assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 107-83 victory over New Orleans.
Impact Williams was held below 20 points for a third consecutive game Friday, but he remained effective as a distributor in the comfortable victory. He's dished out at least six dimes in five of his last seven appearances. However, Friday's matchup ended a streak of four consecutive games with multiple steals.

Impact Williams is playing the best basketball of his career, and the second-year forward is making a strong case to operate as the Thunder's second-best option on offense, even ahead of Chet Holmgren, when analyzing his numbers in recent weeks. He's scored 20 or more points in three games in a row and in seven of his 10 January appearances while shooting an impressive 65.9 percent from the field during the current month.

Leads team in scoring in loss Williams contributed 25 points (10-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to the Clippers.
Impact With star rookie Chet Holmgren struggling with a 2-for-10 shooting line and just eight points, Williams picked up much of the slack with a team-leading 25 points on a very efficient 10-for-14 mark from the field. It was the second straight 25-point performance for Williams, who also posted that number one day earlier against the Lakers. The Santa Clara product has blossomed in his second NBA campaign, and since the start of the new year he's averaging 20.4 points, 5.9 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.4 steals over 32.2minutes across nine games.

OKC Thunder: Jalen Williams Turning Yet Another Corner Thunder second-year forward Jalen Williams seems to be taking another step in his young career.

Continues to thrive Williams finished Wednesday's 128-120 victory over the Heat with 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists and one steal over 34 minutes.
Impact Williams seems to have discovered a new gear in his play after he recorded a career-high 36 points against the Knicks on Dec. 27, and his numbers back that up. He's been outstanding as a playmaker of late, racking up double-digit assists in his last two outings, but he's also posting decent numbers as a scorer. Over his last eight appearances, Williams is averaging 20.1 points, 6.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game.

Double-double in Monday's win Williams finished Monday's 136-128 victory over the Wizards with 21 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 34 minutes.
Impact It was the first double-double of the season for the second-year forward, and the fact that it came via assists and not rebounds isn't a huge surprise. Over the last 12 games, Williams is averaging 19.8 points, 5.0 assists, 3.5 boards, 1.8 threes, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting a blistering 61.0 percent from the floor and 56.4 percent from beyond the arc.
