Sitting out Monday Williams (hamstring) is out for Monday's game versus Detroit.

Impact After playing 29 minutes during Sunday's victory over the Knicks, the star swingman is sitting out the second end of this back-to-back set following a recent 16-game absence with a hamstring strain. Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe are all options for an amplified role Monday.

Puts up 22 points vs. NYK Williams provided 22 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 111-100 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Williams got off to a slow start and didn't score in the first quarter, but he got hot as the game progressed and delivered his best scoring mark since returning to the lineup after a hamstring injury that sidelined him for 16 games in a row between Feb. 12 and March 21. Williams has scored at least 18 points in three of his four appearances since returning to the lineup while shooting 50 percent from the floor, but just 22.2 percent from deep, in that span.

Comes close to double-double Williams totaled 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 131-113 victory over Chicago.

Impact Williams bounced back after posting a seven-point dud (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) in the loss to the Celtics on Wednesday, and now he's scored exactly 18 points in two of his three outings since returning from his hamstring injury. Look for Williams to continue operating as one of the main secondary options on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. From a volume perspective, it's worth noting that his 16 shot attempts were his highest since he took 17 against the Lakers on Feb. 9.

Struggles with shot in loss Williams chipped in seven points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Williams was playing just his second game since missing multiple weeks with a hamstring injury, and he had a rough performance against one of the league's best defenses. Williams was coming off an 18-point performance in the win over the 76ers on Monday, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about one subpar game. Williams' goal is simple -- he needs to shake off the rust and be as healthy as possible with the playoffs right around the corner. In the process, though, he should continue to operate as the Thunder's No. 2 option on offense, giving him a decent floor on most slates going forward.

Scores 18 in return Williams totaled 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists and four rebounds across 20 minutes in Monday's 123-103 win over the 76ers.

Impact Williams made his return from a 16-game absence due to a right hamstring strain and turned in an effective performance in a wire-to-wire win. It's been a frustrating year for the 24-year-old, with injuries limiting him to just 27 games thus far. He entered Monday's contest averaging 17.5 points, 5.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals -- solid marks, though that scoring average would be the forward's lowest since his 2022-23 rookie campaign. The priority for the Thunder is ensuring Williams is healthy and at his best come the postseason as the team aims to capture back-to-back championships.

Will start after all Williams is listed in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Philadelphia, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Impact It initially looked as though Williams would be deployed off the bench in his return from a right hamstring strain, but Rahbar states there was an error in the team's announced starting lineup. Williams will indeed return to his starting small forward slot, which bumps Cason Wallace back to a reserve role.

Won't start in return Williams won't start Monday's game against the 76ers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams is available to return from a 16-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, though he'll come off the bench for the first time since his rookie campaign. The star forward has appeared in just 26 regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 17.5 points, 5.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 29.1 minutes per contest. He'll likely operate under a minutes restriction Monday.
