Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams may have hit another speed bump in what has been an injury-plagued year.
The 2025 All-Star exited during the third quarter of the defending champions' April 22 game against the Phoenix Suns with an apparent hamstring injury. He grabbed at his left hamstring immediately following a layup attempt with 6:28 to go and was subbed out a short time later, at 5:53, for Cason Wallace.

He was questionable to return, per the ESPN broadcast, but never came back.
Williams, who played just 33 games this season, had scored 19 points on 7-for-11 shooting in 23 minutes when he exited the game. The Thunder lead the series 2-0 now after defeating the Suns 120-107 at Paycom Center.
