Williams (heel) will remain on the inactive list for Monday's matchup with Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Monday will mark Williams' third consecutive game on the inactive list, and for now, he should be considered doubtful for Tuesday's game in San Antonio. With Isaiah Hartenstein (leg) out and Chet Holmgren (back) questionable, Jalen Williams could be asked to spend more time at the five-spot and Brenden Carlson might be able to get into the rotation.

Williams (heel) will not play Friday against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will miss his second game in a row Friday, with his next chance to play coming Monday against Memphis. In Williams' absence, Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams are candidates to absorb a handful of minutes Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will be sidelined for the opening leg of a back-to-back set due to a heel injury. With Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) also out, Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams should see plenty of action Thursday. It's unclear if Williams will be good to go for Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves.

Williams is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Suns in Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams started in the Thunder's last two games and averaged 4.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 21.5 minutes per game over that span. Williams and Ajay Mitchell will both revert to bench roles Wednesday due to the returns of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort.

Williams is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Mavericks, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joining Williams in the first unit for Friday's game will be Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. In Williams' previous start this season, he finished with 12 points, four assists, three rebounds, four three-pointers, one steal and one block in 23 minutes.

Williams had one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 win over Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is set to be out for the next week or so, which means Williams has an opportunity to seize a more consistent role in the frontcourt. Williams has averaged 5.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 18.2 minutes per night through 21 games this season, so he is worth monitoring on waiver wires.

Williams chipped in 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Friday's 144-112 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Williams reached his 15 points via five drilled three-pointers, which is something you don't see very often from the fourth-year pro. He has ramped up his long-range attempts to 4.6 per game this season, a sharp increase from his previous season averages. Despite the impressive shooting performance, Williams has converted only 34.5 percent of his shots through 16 games played.

Williams (shoulder) will be available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis
