Just four minutes in Game 7 loss Williams closed with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over four minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Impact Williams averaged 16.7 minutes per game off the bench in the three games prior to Saturday's elimination contest. However, he saw just four minutes of action in Game 7 as Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault opted to shorten his rotation. Williams' playing time fluctuated during the 2025-26 campaign, both in the regular season and playoffs. Whether he's back in Oklahoma City depends on whether the Thunder exercise Williams' team option for the 2026-27 season, which is valued at $7.16 million. If he does return, then he'll likely operate in a reserve role behind Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jalen Williams (hamstring).

Benefits from expanded role Williams logged 15 points (7-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 127-107 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The Thunder were down nearly all of their starters, so Williams logged over 30 minutes for the first time since the 116-106 loss to San Antonio on Feb 4. With Oklahoma City looking to stay healthy, Williams may see more minutes until the end of the regular season, although he will likely return to a limited role during the playoffs.

Drops 13 points in win Williams closed Saturday's 104-97 victory over Golden State with 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.

Impact Williams logged a handful of extra minutes, scoring double digits for just the second time in his past nine games. As Oklahoma City continues to manipulate its rotation, Williams should be able to maintain a backend role. With that said, fantasy managers should view him as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming option.

Left out of rotation Williams (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Thunder's 127-121 overtime win over the Nuggets.

Impact The Thunder welcomed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) back from a nine-game absence Friday, and his return along with the game being tightly contested throughout left no room in the rotation for Williams. The veteran forward had previously appeared in each of Oklahoma City's previous 33 contests, averaging 7.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 16.3 minutes. While Williams should be first in line to rejoin the rotation if Oklahoma City is down a key player at any point moving forward, his path to steady playing time will only become more blocked once the likes of Ajay Mitchell (ankle/abdomen) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) return to the mix.

Coming off bench Friday Williams is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Nets on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams started in the Thunder's final game before the All-Star break against the Bucks on Feb. 12, when he played 23 minutes and finished with nine points, eight rebounds and one assist. He'll revert to the bench for Friday's contest due to the return of Isaiah Hartenstein (calf).

Running with first unit Williams is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams will re-join the starting lineup after coming off the bench in three consecutive matchups. He should be in line for an increase in opportunities Thursday with Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sidelined.

Out of starting lineup Williams is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Rockets on Saturday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams made his first start of the season in Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs, when he finished with 25 points, nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role Saturday due to the returns of Aaron Wiggins and Chet Holmgren.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 25 points Williams registered 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Williams made the most of his opportunity, falling one rebound short of a double-double, including a season-high 25 points. With Oklahoma City opting to rest a number of its stars, Williams was one of many players to step up. While this was certainly a strong performance, production like this shouldn't be expected moving forward. At best, he can be streamed in for similar situations.
