Thunder rule out Jalen Williams (ankle) for Friday
The Oklahoma City Thunder have ruled out Jalen Williams (ankle) for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
Williams will miss a second straight game with his ankle injury, opening up a spot in the Thunder's starting five. Kenrich Williams made his first start of the year while covering for Jalen a game ago, but the Thunder have previously leaned on Cason Wallace as a reserve starter this season.
When healthy, Jalen Williams has averaged 33.2 FanDuel points per game. Our models project Wallace for 16.6 fantasy points and Kenrich Williams for 10.5 against the Hornets on Friday.
