Is Jalen Williams playing in Game 4 tonight vs. Lakers? Final status for Thunder star

The Oklahoma City Thunder will look to close out their series and complete the sweep over the Los Angeles Lakers with a win in Game 4 on Monday night.

Unfortunately, they'll continue to be without star wing player Jalen Williams for the game.

Jalen Williams ruled out for Game 4 vs. Lakers due to left hamstring strain

Williams has been officially ruled out of Game 4 against the Lakers due to the same left hamstring strain that has kept him sidelined for the entirety of the series.

Williams' last game action came in the second game of Oklahoma City's first-round series with the Phoenix Suns back on April 22.

At this point an exact return date for Williams hasn't been provided, though there's hope that he'll be able to return at some point during the conference finals, assuming the Thunder are able to advance.

During the regular season, Williams averaged 17.1 points, 5.5 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per performance in 33 games for Oklahoma City.

The Thunder won't be the only team missing a key contributor in Game 4 on Monday night. The Lakers will continue to be without star guard Luka Doncic for the game due to a hamstring strain. Doncic has missed the entirety of the postseason to this point due to the injury.
