Williams is no longer listed on the Thunder's injury report after missing the last six playoff games because of a hamstring injury.
After playing the first two games of a first-round series sweep against the Phoenix Suns, Williams did not play in any of the four games during the Thunder's sweep over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Williams, who was an All-Star in 2025, averaged 17.1 points with 4.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 33 games (all starts) in the regular season after undergoing wrist surgery in the offseason.
In 35 career playoff games, Williams has averaged 20.6 points with 5.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists. He scored 40 points in Game 5 of the 2025 NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers as the Thunder won the title in a seven-game series.
