Tue Feb 319:34Jaylin Williams is Cleared for Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder center Jaylin Williams (shoulder) has been cleared to suit up ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He came into this game questionable due to a left shoulder contusion. It doesn't seem to be serious enough to keep Williams from suiting up. Fellow big man Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is active, so Williams figures to remain in his regular role in the rotation. This season, Williams is averaging 5.6 points, 2.5 assists, and 4.7 rebounds across 18.8 minutes per game. Williams has been playing better lately and could be worth a look as a deep league streaming option for Tuesday.

Fri Jan 2319:09Jaylin Williams is Returning on Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder center Jaylin Williams (back) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He made it through shootaround without any issues and will return after sitting out Wednesday's contest. The Thunder are banged up right now, so having Williams back in the rotation is a nice feeling. The expectation is that he's going to have an increased role with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) ruled out for this game. The last time Williams played at least 20 minutes, he finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds. His playing time has been inconsistent lately, but he should be a viable option with Hartenstein sidelined.

Mon Dec 29 202519:34Jaylin Williams, Ousmane Dieng Remain Out Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (heel) and forward/center Ousmane Dieng (calf) will remain out on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. The two frontcourt reserves have been out for several games due to injury, with Williams missing a seventh consecutive game and Dieng sidelined for a fifth straight contest. Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is also unavailable on Monday, meaning Branden Carlson could see meaningful minutes in the rotation. Jalen Williams and Kenrich Williams may also get some burn at the center position.

Thu Dec 25 202508:31Jaylin Williams Misses Fifth Straight Game
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (heel) will miss Thursday's Christmas action against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been dealing with a heel issue recently and won't be in the lineup for a fifth consecutive game. With both Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein available, Williams' absence isn't a big deal for Oklahoma City. However, both big men have had a tough time against the Spurs this season. Holmgren has been limited to 12.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in this matchup, while Hartenstein has posted 9.0 points and 10.5 rebounds per game.

Sun Jun 29 202512:30Jaylin Williams Signing Three-Year Extension
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams is signing a new deal with the organization on Sunday. The two sides have agreed on a three-year, $24 million contract extension. Instead of picking up his $2.1 million team option, the Thunder and Williams have figured out a better deal. Sadly, injuries limited Williams to only 47 games last season. He averaged 5.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 16.7 minutes per game. He has become a valuable piece even without big minutes in the rotation. However, the lack of playing time does take away from his fantasy value.

Tue Apr 8 202517:39Jaylin Williams Questionable For Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams(ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Williams could miss his fourth straight game due to a sprained left ankle. Williams's next opportunity to return to the floor is Thursday evening against the Phoenix Suns. If the 22-year-old is unavailable to suit up, Kenrich Williams will likely see more playing time than usual. In his last outing, he finished with five points and two steals across 12 minutes during Sunday's matchup against the Lakers.

Mon Mar 31 202519:48Jaylin Williams Back In Thunder Lineup Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hip) has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of Monday's tip-off against the Chicago Bulls. He will be back in the lineup after missing Saturday's contest against the Indiana Pacers due to hip tightness. In each of his last two starts, Williams has posted a triple-double, showing he can be a significant force in fantasy basketball. However, his role on the Thunder team is very limited when Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) and Chet Holmgren (hip) are available.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Williams recently suffered a hip injury and is now in danger of missing his second straight game. This comes at a bad time with Chet Holmgren (hip) and Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) both questionable for this game as well. That being said, Kenrich Williams could be looking at big minutes if some of these players are unable to suit up.

Tue Dec 17 202410:00Jaylin Williams Remains Out On Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will not suit up for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee. He's been unavailable for the entire year so far because of a hamstring injury and won't be ready to return for the 2024 NBA Cup final. Kenrich Williams will continue to provide backup for starting center Isaiah Hartenstein. However, the 30-year-old has very little fantasy appeal, having averaged 7.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 13.7 minutes this month.

Tue Dec 10 202409:29Jaylin Williams Remains Out On Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will miss another contest on Tuesday against Dallas. He's yet to play this season due to a right hamstring strain. It's unclear when Williams will be ready to return to the lineup. The 22-year-old would add an extra frontcourt option to the Thunder, although playing opportunities have dried up for Williams, with Isaiah Hartenstein in town this season. With Chet Holmgren (pelvic) also on the shelf, Hartenstein plays a big role for the team and will look to maintain his double-double form on Tuesday. Through his first eight appearances with the Thunder, Hartenstein has averaged 11.8 points and 12.8 rebounds with 4.5 assists.

Wed Oct 30 202418:27Jaylin Williams To Be Evaluated In A Month
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hamstring) appears to have suffered a setback during a workout. As a result, Williams will be shut down and re-evaluated in four to six weeks. Williams has yet to play in a game this season, so fantasy managers will have to wait a little longer. Osumane Dieng has been filling in at center, but doesn't offer great fantasy value right now. Chet Holmgren is gaining the most value from this at the moment.

Sun Oct 27 202416:13Jaylin Williams Won't Suit Up On Sunday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hamstring) is listed as out ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Williams has yet to make his season debut while he continues to deal with a right hamstring strain. His next chance to play would be against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Once healthy, Williams should be the primary backup to Chet Holmgren. Until then, Ousmane Dieng should see increased playing time without Williams available on Sunday. Dieng finished with six points and six rebounds across 20 minutes of action during their last contest.

Thu Oct 24 202408:58Jaylin Williams Will Miss Season Opener
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) hasn't recovered in time to be ready for Thursday's season opener against Denver. He missed the preseason with a right hamstring strain and hasn't been cleared for the start of the regular season. The Thunder look very thin inside the paint, with Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) also on the shelf. Chet Holmgren will be asked to do a lot of heavy lifting early in the year. He faces a very difficult matchup against Nikola Jokic on Thursday but could be dominant in the next few games. The Thunder could also run a lot of small-ball lineups with no adequate backup for Holmgren.

Fri Oct 4 202414:50Jaylin Williams To Miss Preseason
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will sit out the preseason. Williams has sustained a right hamstring strain, and the team will re-evaluate him after the preseason. The Thunder kick off their regular-season slate on Oct. 24 versus Denver. Williams saw his playing time drop during his sophomore campaign in 2023-24, as he averaged 13.0 minutes across 69 games. The addition of Isaiah Hartenstein will make his life even more difficult in Oklahoma City. With Kenrich Williams (knee) also out, we should see a lot of Ousmane Dieng in preseason.

Thu Mar 7 202419:32Jaylin Williams Removed From Injury Report Against Heat
Oklahoma City Thunder center Jaylin Williams did not appear on the first injury report submitted by the team for their Friday night game against the Miami Heat. The young big has missed the last three games but also hasn't received the minutes that constitute starting him in most fantasy leagues. Williams will likely return to his usual 15-17 minutes per contest while Mike Muscala will chip away at some of those minutes after signing with the team on March 2. Williams averages 3.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 12.6 minutes so far this season.

Wed Mar 6 202421:54Jaylin Williams Unavailable On Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus Portland. It will be the third consecutive game he will be out with a left knee sprain. Williams is one of the best rebounders on the Thunder. As a struggling rebound team, OKC has missed the 21-year-old. Bismack Biyombo and Mike Muscala will have to step up instead of Williams. However, Biyombo and Muscala are not factors in fantasy play.

Mon Mar 4 202418:03Jaylin Williams Ruled Out For Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (knee) won't play on Monday versus the Lakers. He's out for a second consecutive game with a left knee sprain. Williams has been a good energy guy off the bench and one of the best rebounders on the team. A struggling rebounding team like OKC will definitely feel his absence. Bismack Biyombo and Mike Muscala will have a chance to get extra work without Williams, but they aren't fantasy-relevant.

Fri Nov 3 202316:30Jaylin Williams Upgraded To Available On Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder center/forward Jaylin Williams is now officially available for the team's first in-season tournament game against the Golden State Warriors. The young big man is making his season debut after having to sit out the team's first five games due to a hamstring issue. He'll likely take away some minutes from Ousmane Dieng and Olivier Sarr, but Chet Holmgren will remain in the starting lineup. If any fantasy managers in very deep leagues are in need of some rebounding, Williams is a solid option and likely available on the waiver wire.
