Williams sustained a Grade 1 left hamstring strain during Game 2 of OKC’s first-round series against Phoenix on April 22. He returned for Game 1 against San Antonio on Monday but now finds himself in jeopardy of missing more time.
If Williams isn’t able to suit up Friday, Ajay Mitchell is due for a larger role. The sophomore guard started in all four second-round games against the Los Angeles Lakers during Williams’ absence and averaged 22.5 points and six assists.
San Antonio could also be short-handed on Friday. De’Aaron Fox (right ankle sprain) and Dylan Harper (right adductor soreness) are questionable.
