The Oklahoma City Thunder were able to tie the series against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2, but they dealt with some injuries along the way. The biggest one was to Jalen Williams , who seemed to reaggravate his hamstring that has kept him out for most of the postseason. Williams didn’t play for most of the second quarter and was ruled out in the second half of the game.

There is no update on what his status will be for Game 3, and it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting an update from Williams himself, after he scrubbed his Instagram clean .
There has to be a level of frustration for Williams after dealing with several injuries this season. He missed the beginning of the season as he recovered from offseason wrist surgery. He eventually returned, but then went down with the hamstring injury, and he’s been on and off the floor because of it.
Hamstring injuries have always been tricky because even though a player may feel fully recovered, they can still linger. Some people take longer than others to recover as well.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander spoke about the absence of his teammate following Game 2.

“I don’t know too much right now. Obviously, if we don’t have him, it hurts. I still believe in this team, though,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “We played a bunch of games without him. Won big games without him. But I still think we can get the job done. But yeah, losing a guy like that, a caliber player like that, no matter how good your team is, otherwise, it hurts a little bit. And also for him, as a human being, he’s had a tough year with injuries.”
The good thing about the Thunder is that they have several players ready to come in and make an impact, which is why they were able to win Game 2.
