Plays eight minutes in debut Williams (hamstring) logged eight minutes in Monday's 123-105 win over the Wizards, finishing with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and one block.

Impact Williams took the court for the first time all season after straining his right hamstring early in training camp and then suffering a setback in his recovery in late October. The 22-year-old's return gave the Thunder another option in the frontcourt, but so long as Isaiah Hartenstein is available and stays out of foul trouble, Williams will be hard-pressed to see more than 20 minutes in a given game. His path to playing time will grow only more daunting when Chet Holmgren (hip) eventually returns late in the season.

Making season debut Monday Williams (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Williams has yet to play this season due to a right hamstring injury, but he will suit up Monday. The 22-year-old pro enters a lineup with no Chet Holmgren (hip), so he figures to see some action off the bench behind Isaiah Hartenstein. Despite no official word on a minutes restriction, it wouldn't be surprising if Williams is eased back into action considering the amount of time he's been sidelined.
