Williams has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday’s game. He played well as a starter in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, but that was with Chet Holmgren unavailable. Holmgren is back, so JayWill will likely come off the bench.

Williams, who started Sunday’s win over the Pelicans in place of the ill Luguentz Dort, is dealing with a sprained left shoulder. The impact of JayWill’s potential absence hinges upon Dort’s availability, as he is also questionable for Tuesday night. If Dort returns, Williams’ opportunities will decrease, especially with Chet Holmgren (back) available.

Williams will slide into the starting lineup to replace Luguentz Dort, who is sidelined due to an illness. Chet Holmgren (back) is also sidelined again, which allows Williams to start in the frontcourt next to Hartenstein to form a taller starting frontcourt to match up with Zion Williamson and Yves Missi.

Instead of picking up Williams’ option for the 2025-26 season worth $2.1 million, the Thunder declined to give him a far superior deal. The third year of Jay Will’s new contract will be a team option. A preseason hamstring injury limited Williams to 47 games during the regular season, but he is a valued reserve for the NBA champions. He recorded four double-doubles and three triple-doubles, stepping up to provide value on nights when Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein was unavailable. As was the case this season, Williams will likely be most valuable to fantasy managers as a streamer in 2025-26.

Williams injured his ankle just two minutes into the game, and there is no reason for him to play through it in a meaningless game. Branden Carlson will fill out the center minutes in this game.

Williams has been a stud whenever the Thunder give Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein rest, and that continued in this game. He has started three times since the All-Star break and has recorded a triple-double in each of them. Williams only needed 25 minutes to reach those marks on Friday, and he was even able to add a self-lob off the glass to make things fancy. Williams should remain in the starting unit for the season finale in New Orleans on Sunday and should be in for another big night.

While Williams would have a decent chance of logging rotation minutes if he were healthy, that is not the case for Ducas. Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will continue to dominate the playing time at the center position on Sunday.

With both Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein healthy, Williams wouldn’t have played a large role even if he was healthy. This will be a second-straight absence for him. Ducas has only played more than 10 minutes in a game twice this season. His continued absence will not impact the Thunder rotation.

Williams will be back after missing Saturday’s game against Indiana. However, with both Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein available, Williams won’t play enough to make a significant contribution in standard leagues.

Aaron Wiggins (Achilles) is out. Williams joins Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren as big men listed on OKC’s injury report. With Wiggins sidelined, the Thunder may need to turn to Kenrich Williams and, perhaps, a small ball approach against Chicago.

Williams left Thursday’s game against the Grizzlies early with a hip injury that he was already dealing with. The 22-year-old power forward was at shootaround Saturday, but was ultimately ruled out for the game against the Pacers. Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Joe are candidates to see additional minutes with J-Dub out.

It wasn’t a fantastic encore to his triple-double on Wednesday, but it was another strong performance for JWill. If Mark Daigneault chooses to prioritize his team’s health for the playoffs, we could see Williams continue to play a significant role for the rest of the season. He may not be considered a must-add player at this point, he is worth keeping an eye to see how his minutes progress over OKC’s next few games.

Williams has played at least 20 minutes just twice in nine games so far in the month of March, but he’s recorded a triple-double in both of those games. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Isaiah Hartenstein and others out for the Thunder Wednesday, Williams was in the starting lineup again and put up a huge game. He was just one point and three rebounds shy of a 20-20 game. Williams isn’t much of a fantasy asset when the Thunder are at full strength, but he can certainly put up numbers when given the opportunity.

Williams moved into the starting lineup with Chet Holmgren (leg) and Isaiah Hartenstein both out Friday. The 22-year-old power forward didn’t disappoint fantasy mangers that chose to use him as a streamer. Williams had a triple-double and added three steals and two blocks on the defensive end. He’s unusable in fantasy leagues once Holmgren or Hartenstein returns, but this was quite an effort from a player that was on the waiver wire in pretty much every league.
