ANALYSISWilliams will finally make his season debut Friday after missing the Thunder's first 19 games in 2025-26. His return will give the Thunder a huge boost on both ends of the court, and he could slot into the starting small-forward role to keep the frontcourt pairing of
Chet Holmgren and
Isaiah Hartenstein in the lineup. Williams was the Thunder's second-best player in the 2024-25 season, averaging 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
