Williams will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks after aggravating a right hamstring strain during a workout Tuesday, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams had been nursing the injury throughout preseason, and the big man's rehab program has now been halted entirely. Oklahoma City has made due without much center depth while Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) has also been unavailable to start the season, so it's reasonable to expect head coach Mark Daigneault to continue leaning heavily on small-ball lineups when Chet Holmgren is off the court.

EDGE Analysis

The Thunder announced Thursday that Williams is out with a right hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated after the preseason, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear if Williams will miss any regular-season action, but hamstring injuries can often linger. With Kenrich Williams (knee) also out, Ousmane Dieng could receive increased playing time off the bench in Oklahoma City's frontcourt early in the campaign.

Cason Wallace will replace Williams in the starting lineup Wednesday evening, so Williams' fantasy outlook takes a hit. As a member of the reserves this season, Williams owns averages of 3.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and not much else on 40.3 percent shooting in 12.6 minutes a night.
