Ruled Out for Game 1 vs. Lakers with Grade 1 Hamstring Strain

Thunder forward Jalen Williams has been officially ruled out for Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Lakers on Tuesday. Coach Mark Daigneault confirmed Monday that Williams remains week-to-week as he recovers from a Grade 1 hamstring strain. While there was initial optimism regarding a potential return for the series, his current status suggests his availability remains uncertain as the team navigates the next stage of the playoffs without their star wing.
