Returning to Thunder Williams will sign a one-year, $5 million deal with the Thunder, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.
Impact The Thunder recently declined his $7.1 million team option, so they save some money here in addition to some tax relief for the franchise. The forward averaged 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest across 56 regular-season games for the Thunder in 2025-26.

Team option being declined The Thunder are declining Williams' team option for next season, per Clemente Almanza of USA Today.
Impact Williams has spent the past six years of his career with Oklahoma City, but it looks like he'll have a new home in 2026-27. The forward averaged just 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest across 56 regular-season games for the Thunder this past season, but Williams will likely have an opportunity for a much larger role if he signs with a lesser club.

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.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Gilgeous-Alexander scores 27 as the Thunder beat the Warriors 104-97 for 5th straight win

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 27 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Golden State Warriors 104-97 for their fifth straight win
MARCH 8 • Associated Press
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.
