Williams registered 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Williams made the most of his opportunity, falling one rebound short of a double-double, including a season-high 25 points. With Oklahoma City opting to rest a number of its stars, Williams was one of many players to step up. While this was certainly a strong performance, production like this shouldn't be expected moving forward.

Williams is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will make his first start of the season as the Thunder are down to just eight healthy players, including all three two-way players. Williams has scored in double figures in four of his last seven appearances after doing so just five times in his first 24 outings.

Williams amassed 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 122-102 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second time in 11 January games that Williams has played more than 20 minutes, and he's produced strong numbers each time -- he dropped 21 points and eight boards on the Grizzlies over 29 minutes Jan. 9. The veteran forward might see more such opportunities as the Thunder's depth continues to be tested by injuries, with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf), Jaylin Williams (back), Jalen Williams (hamstring), Aaron Wiggins (groin) and others all missing Wednesday's contest.

Williams produced 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 117-116 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Williams saw just eight minutes of action his last time out, but with Chet Holmgren (shins), Jaylin Williams (heel) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) unavailable, Williams was able to carve out a larger role in the rotation. He made the most of his minutes, but Williams' playing time is too inconsistent in Oklahoma City to justify a roster spot in fantasy leagues.

Williams closed Monday's 124-97 loss to the Hornets with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The Thunder are dealing with several injuries these days, but Williams' minutes haven't really gone up much. Over his last four games, he's averaging 11.9 minutes per contest with 4.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Williams chipped in 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, four steals and three assists in 25 minutes during Monday's 119-103 win over Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

After totaling just five minutes over the Thunder's last three games, Williams stepped into the rotation with Chet Holmgren (illness), Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and several other players sidelined in the front end of a back-to-back set. Williams finished as one of six Thunder players to score in double figures, putting up a season-high nine field-goal attempts in the process. The veteran forward also chipped in four steals after logging zero in his first eight regular-season appearances.

Williams ended with 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds and six assists over 24 minutes during Sunday's 131-101 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has now scored in double digits in back-to-back contests and has eased his way back after missing the first 18 games of the season with a knee injury. If Isaiah Joe (Knee) and Alex Caruso (quad) continue to miss time, Williams could have another impactful rotational role until one of the aforementioned sidelined players returns.

Williams (knee) finished with zero points (0-1 FG), four rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes in Wednesday's 113-105 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Williams made his season debut Wednesday after he was sidelined for the first 18 games of 2025-26 while completing his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery. Though the 18-1 Thunder will likely continue to stockpile blowout wins as the season rolls along to help prop up the minutes for reserves such as Williams, the 31-year-old could be at risk of falling out of the rotation in competitive games once Oklahoma City is back to full strength. Jalen Williams (wrist) still has yet to debut, and Aaron Wiggins (adductor) could also be prioritized ahead of Kenrich Williams once healthy.

Williams (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has missed the first month or so of the 2025-26 season while rehabbing from arthroscopic left knee surgery. He's completed his recovery and will be available off the bench for the Thunder on Wednesday, though his minutes will almost certainly be monitored closely as he acclimates to game action.

Williams (knee) won't play Sunday versus Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is recovering from a September knee procedure and remains without an official timetable to return. He should be viewed as week-to-week and can safely remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.
