Jaylin Williams suffers hamstring strain, will miss start of season

Jaylin Williams Kenrich Williams Mark Daigneault Thunder

Prior to their preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault revealed Jaylin Williams suffered a hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks.

This means he’ll miss the regular-season opener on Oct. 25 against the Chicago Bulls. Williams suffered the injury during practice.

The Thunder’s frontcourt depth has suddenly thinned. With Jeremiah Robinson-Earl‘s trade, Williams’ injury and Kenrich Williams’ back spasms, OKC has lost several key bench wings.

Williams is entering his second season. After starting last season with the G League’s OKC Blue, he played his way into the starting lineup by the end of the season for a play-in tournament team.
