Out for preseason opener Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason opener against the Spurs, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.

Impact Williams underwent right knee surgery in September, so it does not come as a surprise that he won't suit up Monday. The 29-year-old likely won't appear in the preseason, though he has returned to practice in a limited fashion which bodes well for his chance to return to game action soon.

Limited in practice Williams (knee) was seen at Friday's practice shooting free throws and other light activities, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams underwent right knee surgery in September, so it's a good sign he is already back on the practice floor. Still, it would be surprising to see Williams feature in any preseason contests.

Kenrich Williams' knee rehab can fuel a breakthrough season Thunder’s wing - recovering from surgery - will be competing for minutes in a roster full of more skilled players.

Undergoes knee procedure Williams underwent a successful arthroscopic debridement procedure in his right knee Tuesday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Impact The timing of this is unfortunate for Williams with training camp right around the corner. A timetable was not provided by the Thunder, but Williams is scheduled to be re-evaluated at the end of the preseason. In 69 regular-season appearances for the Thunder in 2023-24, Williams averaged 4.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists.

Back in rotation Saturday Williams provided two points (1-1 FG) and one rebound across three minutes during Saturday's 117-116 loss to the Mavericks in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Impact Williams played for just the second time in the past five games, logging four minutes as Luguentz Dort was benched due to foul trouble. Despite a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, Williams is nothing more than a depth piece for a Thunder team with high aspirations heading into next season. There is no reason to think he will play a significant role moving forward.

Sees more minutes in second half Williams logged 18 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 126-112 loss to Indiana.

Impact Williams was on the floor to start the second half Friday after Gordon Hayward left the game with left lower leg soreness. Williams took advantage of the opportunity, reaching double-digit scoring for the first time since March 22 against the Raptors. Hayward moved into the starting lineup for Friday's game, and if he's ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Williams could shift into the starting lineup for the second time this season.

Snatches four steals vs. Raptors Williams logged 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and four steals over 23 minutes during Friday's 123-103 victory over Toronto.

Impact His four steals Friday was a season high for Williams. He saw extended playing time with Oklahoma City up as much as 22 points, and his 23 minutes on the court were his most since Feb. 4, which was also against the Raptors. He would be the next man up off the bench for the Thunder should Gordon Hayward, Carson Wallace or starter Jalen Williams be sidelined.

MARCH 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Productive off bench Williams produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 17 minutes during Sunday's 124-93 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Jalen Williams left this game early with an ankle injury, and the lopsided score allowed the Thunder to utilize their second unit much more. While Cason Wallace will be the popular pickup if Williams misses time, Kenrich is one to watch in deeper leagues for his ability to contribute across the board.

MARCH 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score in 13 minutes Williams finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 124-117 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Williams missed all four shot attempts in the loss, failing to score for the second time in the past four games. Despite playing a somewhat consistent role off the bench, Williams is barely inside the top 300 for the season. He is well and truly off the standard league radar.

Back to bench Williams will return to a reserve role in Fridays' game versus the Hornets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams replaced Jalen Williams (ankle) in the Thunders' starting lineup last game. Will the latter remains out, Cason Wallace will get the start this time.

FEBRUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Making first start of season Williams will join the first five for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams will step into the spot of Jalen Williams (ankle), who's set to miss multiple games. While Williams draws the starting nod, he shouldn't command much fantasy attention outside of daily fantasy formats considering he's only scored in double-digits twice in 36 appearances.
