Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Starting vs. Phoenix
Williams will start Monday's game against Phoenix, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Chet Holmgren (knee) won't play in the second leg of this back-to-back set, joining Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) on the inactive list. As a result, Williams will join the starting five for the first time since Feb. 12.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Sees seven minutes
Williams notched three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across seven minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 victory over the Spurs.
Williams knocked down his only shot attempt but otherwise had little opportunity to influence the contest. Oklahoma City used a deep rotation, with 10 other Thunder players logging more minutes than the veteran forward. Williams offers positional versatility and experience, though his Opening Night role leaves him with little immediate fantasy appeal outside of deeper formats.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Fares well off bench
Kenrich Williams delivered seven points (2-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist across 19 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 overtime win over Indiana.
Williams had a difficult night inside the arc but found his touch from deep, knocking down two of three attempts. He also chipped in defensively with a pair of steals, providing the type of complementary production that has helped him carve out a role in Oklahoma City's rotation.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Available Tuesday
Williams (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason meeting with the Pacers, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Williams was one of several Thunder players who didn't travel with the team for Monday's loss to Atlanta, though he'll return to action Tuesday. The 31-year-old forward faces plenty of competition for frontcourt minutes in 2026-27 after averaging 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest across 56 regular-season appearances (two starts) in 2025-26.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Won't be available Monday
Williams (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Hawks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Williams and the rest of the Thunder's regulars won't travel to Atlanta but are expected to suit up Tuesday, when they host the Pacers. Williams has averaged 15.5 minutes per game over the past three seasons in Oklahoma City, starting 10 of his 194 regular-season appearances.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Headed to bench
Williams will come off the bench in Wednesday's exhibition against the Bucks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Williams started for a resting Jalen Williams in Tuesday's preseason opener, but J Dub is back, so Williams will shift to the second unit. It will be tough for Williams to find meaningful minutes in Oklahoma City this season while the main guys are healthy.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Teases triple-double Tuesday
Williams scored nine points (3-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and compiled eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 18 minutes during Tuesday's preseason loss to the Pelicans.
The veteran forward got the start with the Thunder resting many of their key rotation players, and Williams took advantage with a well-rounded stat line. He's been a reliable member of the OKC bench brigade over the last six seasons, and in 2025-26, Williams averaged 15.3 minutes, 6.5 points, 3.3 boards, 1.4 assists and 0.9 threes during 56 regular-season contests.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Getting start Tuesday
Williams is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
The Thunder are resting all of their regular starters for this pre-season opener, and Williams will benefit from that to get the nod at power forward. The veteran will play in his ninth season in the NBA and seventh with the Thunder, and should have the same depth role he's had throughout his career in OKC.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Returning to Thunder
Williams will sign a one-year, $5 million deal with the Thunder, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.
The Thunder recently declined his $7.1 million team option, so they save some money here in addition to generating some tax relief for the franchise. The forward averaged 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest across 56 regular-season games for the Thunder in 2025-26.

Kenrich Williams: Team option being declined
The Thunder are declining Williams' team option for next season, per Clemente Almanza of USA Today.
Williams has spent the past six years of his career with Oklahoma City, but it looks like he'll have a new home in 2026-27. The forward averaged just 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest across 56 regular-season games for the Thunder this past season, but Williams will likely have an opportunity for a much larger role if he signs with a lesser club.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Just four minutes in Game 7 loss
Williams closed with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over four minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
Williams averaged 16.7 minutes per game off the bench in the three games prior to Saturday's elimination contest. However, he saw just four minutes of action in Game 7 as Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault opted to shorten his rotation. Williams' playing time fluctuated during the 2025-26 campaign, both in the regular season and playoffs. Whether he's back in Oklahoma City depends on whether the Thunder exercise Williams' team option for the 2026-27 season, which is valued at $7.16 million. If he does return, then he'll likely operate in a reserve role behind Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jalen Williams (hamstring).

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Sees big workload in loss
Williams finished with 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 loss to San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
With the Thunder getting blown out early, Williams saw his largest workload of the postseason. Prior to Sunday's game, Williams had just 19 total minutes across seven postseason appearances.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Benefits from expanded role
Williams logged 15 points (7-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 127-107 loss to the Nuggets.
The Thunder were down nearly all of their starters, so Williams logged over 30 minutes for the first time since the 116-106 loss to San Antonio on Feb 4. With Oklahoma City looking to stay healthy, Williams may see more minutes until the end of the regular season, although he will likely return to a limited role during the playoffs.
