• Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Gets limited run in season debut

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams (knee) played six minutes off the bench in Monday's 134-128 win over the Clippers, finishing with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one assist. Williams had missed the Thunder's first 10 games of the season while completing his recovery from knee surgery, but he returned Monday to provide a healthy body for an injury-ravaged Oklahoma City frontcourt. Head coach Mark Daigneault didn't turn to Williams for major minutes, however, as he instead relied heavily on small-ball lineups, including a starting five featuring the 6-foot-5, 211-pound Jalen Williams at center. Kenrich Williams could see his playing time pick up in the games to come, but the Thunder are still likely to rotate several different players at center until Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) likely makes his return in late November or early December to bring more stability at the position.

  Williams (knee) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Clippers. Williams has a chance to make his 2024-25 debut after recovering from knee surgery. He'll need a ramp-up period before he's capable of playing major minutes, but the Thunder could carve out a spot for Williams in the frontcourt rotation right away with Chet Holmgren suffering a hip fracture in Sunday's loss to the Warriors that will sideline him for at least eight weeks.
