Ruled out Sunday
Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.
Analyse
The star forward will miss a second consecutive contest due to left hamstring soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come in Game 5 on Tuesday. Cason Wallace will likely get the starting nod in Williams' and Ajay Mitchell's (calf) stead, though Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe are also candidates to see increased playing time.

Tagged as questionable for Game 4
Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals versus San Antonio, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
Analyse
Williams has been bothered by a left-hamstring issue. After missing time throughout the playoffs, he returned for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, logging 37 minutes. However, the 25-year-old aggravated the injury in Game 2 and wasn't available for Game 3 on Friday. If Williams doesn't suit up for Sunday's clash with the Spurs, Cason Wallace, Jaylin Williams and Jared McCain should continue to see more action, considering Ajay Mitchell (calf), who started in Game 3, has already been ruled out.

Ruled out for Game 3
Williams (hamstring) won't play in Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus San Antonio.
Analyse
Williams was listed as questionable heading into this contest, although he wasn't expected to play. His next opportunity to get back on the floor will be when these clubs meet for Game 4 on Sunday. With Williams sidelined Friday, Ajay Mitchell or Cason Wallace might earn the start, with Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe in line to see more work from the bench.

Unlikely for Game 3
Williams (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus San Antonio, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Analyse
Although Williams is listed as questionable, he's trending in the wrong direction. He continues to be bothered by a hamstring issue after tweaking it in Game 2. If he's unable to play, the Thunder will likely lean more on Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell.

Questionable for Game 3
Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus San Antonio, per Clemente Almanza of USA Today.
Analyse
Williams is battling another left hamstring injury in the aftermath of Wednesday's Game 2 win, and his status could be determined by his ability to make it through Friday's pregame warmups with no setbacks. If the star forward is out or limited in any capacity, Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain and especially Ajay Mitchell would all be options for expanded roles.

Viewed as day-to-day
Williams (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Analyse
The star forward left Wednesday's Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals versus San Antonio due to a left hamstring injury, and he's set to undergo treatment. It sounds like Williams has a chance to be available for Game 3 on Friday, but it's still unclear if he's dealing only with soreness or another strain. If he's unable to gut it out Friday, Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain and especially Ajay Mitchell would all be candidates for increased roles.

Won't return to Game 2
Williams (hamstring) won't return to Wednesday's Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals versus San Antonio, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. He will finish with four points (2-4 FG), one rebound and two steals across seven minutes.
Analyse
Williams wasn't on the bench beyond the first quarter and was observed getting treatment on his left hamstring strain, an injury that recently cost him six games. Now, the real question is if he will be available for Game 3 on Friday night. If Williams isn't on the floor for that contest, Cason Wallace, who started the second half in Game 2, could replace him in the starting lineup.

Drops 26 points in return
Williams (hamstring) closed with 26 points (11-25 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 122-115 double-overtime loss to the Spurs in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
Analyse
Williams returned to action for the first time in nearly a month, after missing the Thunder's previous six playoff games due to a left hamstring strain. Despite the layoff, Williams appeared as close to 100 percent healthy as the Thunder might have hoped, providing excellent production while logging his most minutes in a game since Jan. 7. Oklahoma City may have been planning for Williams to take on a lighter workload in his return, as he played 30 minutes through four quarters before adding seven more to his total between the two extra periods. Now trailing the series 1-0, Oklahoma City will look to wrestle back momentum when the two teams meet again in Game 2 on Wednesday.

No strict minutes cap for return
Williams (hamstring) won't have a strict minutes limit for Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, per Clemente Almanza of USA Today.
Analyse
Williams is set to return from a six-game absence with a left hamstring strain Monday, and it sounds like he'll be able to handle close to a normal workload if needed. The expectation is that Ajay Mitchell is heading to the bench for Game 1, while Williams' presence is also likely to eat into the playing time of both Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe.
