Williams (heel) tallied nine points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 14 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 124-112 win over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Back in action after a 13-game absence due to right heel bursitis, Williams was handed a small role in the Thunder rotation but filled out the stat sheet nicely during his limited time on the court. When Oklahoma City is at or near full strength, Williams will likely find it difficult to see his playing time climb much higher than what he received Sunday, but his diverse skill set makes him a worthy streaming option when the Thunder are without multiple regulars in the frontcourt. Williams owns career per-36-minute averages of 11.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 three-pointers, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Williams is out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to right heel bursitis.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday is slated to mark a 12th absence in a row for Williams. Without a concrete timeline for a return, it appears as though his status is more week-to-week than day-to-day. With Williams out indefinitely, Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams should be able to hold down a spot in the Oklahoma City rotation.

Williams (heel) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will miss a sixth straight game due to a heel injury and doesn't have a timetable for his return. His next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Monday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's ruled out for that game as well.
