It appears that the Oklahoma City Thunder could miss Jalen Williams' presence for a significant time.
Oklahoma City Thunder / Schedule
The team announced Sunday that Williams has sustained a right hamstring strain. The Thunder haven't released any timeline of recovery yet, but the star forward will already miss OKC's Monday matchup in Cleveland against the Cavaliers.
Williams sustained his injury in the second half of their 122-120 Saturday loss against the Miami Heat. After attacking for an offensive play and an eventual turnover, Williams grabbed the back area of his leg and didn't ultimately return as he was escorted to the locker room.
The Thunder star notably missed the first 19 games of this season for the defending champs after he recovered from his offseason wrist surgery. Despite his absence, the Thunder went 18-1.
In 24 games, Williams is averaging 16.8 points, 5.6 assists and 4.8 rebounds.
