Jaylin Williams's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hamstring) appears to have suffered a setback during a workout. As a result, Williams will be shut down and re-evaluated in four to six weeks. Williams has yet to play in a game this season, so fantasy managers will have to wait a little longer. Osumane Dieng has been filling in at center, but doesn't offer great fantasy value right now. Chet Holmgren is gaining the most value from this at the moment.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hamstring) is listed as out ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Williams has yet to make his season debut while he continues to deal with a right hamstring strain. His next chance to play would be against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Once healthy, Williams should be the primary backup to Chet Holmgren. Until then, Ousmane Dieng should see increased playing time without Williams available on Sunday. Dieng finished with six points and six rebounds across 20 minutes of action during their last contest.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) hasn't recovered in time to be ready for Thursday's season opener against Denver. He missed the preseason with a right hamstring strain and hasn't been cleared for the start of the regular season. The Thunder look very thin inside the paint, with Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) also on the shelf. Chet Holmgren will be asked to do a lot of heavy lifting early in the year. He faces a very difficult matchup against Nikola Jokic on Thursday but could be dominant in the next few games. The Thunder could also run a lot of small-ball lineups with no adequate backup for Holmgren.
