  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Quiet in season opener

    Williams accumulated five points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 win over the Spurs.

    Isaiah Hartenstein ended with five fouls Tuesday, but Williams didn't really capitalize on the opportunity. Williams is expected to share the backup center minutes with rookie first-rounder Aday Mara, who made plenty of noise during the preseason.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Double-doubles in Game 7 loss

    Williams totaled 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to San Antonio in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

    Williams served an expanded role during the Western Conference Finals, due in part to the absence of Jalen Williams (hamstring) and to fill in for a struggling Chet Holmgren. Williams recorded his first double-double of the postseason in Saturday's loss and was the only Thunder player to finish the game with a positive point differential (plus-10). He finished the Western Conference Finals having averaged 6.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 threes over 19.1 minutes per game. Williams should operate as the Thunder's backup center behind Isaiah Hartenstein for the 2026-27 season.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Lands five triples Friday

    Williams had 18 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 22 minutes during Friday's 123-108 victory over the Spurs in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

    Williams had easily his best game of the postseason, racking up all his non-free-throw points from behind the arc. While the starters struggled for Oklahoma City, the bench caught fire, combining for 68 total points. Although this was an encouraging performance for Williams, it's worth noting he'd gone scoreless in two of his previous three outings, underscoring the volatility in his production.
