What happened to Jalen Williams?

Jalen Williams is dealing with a right ankle sprain. He's on the injury report for the first time because of the injury. It's unclear when he suffered it, but it's likely after his 33-point night in the Thunder's 113-112 win over the New York Knicks on Monday.

Williams has been carrying the load for the Thunder amid Gilgeous-Alexander's injury struggles. They will hope that he's good to go for Tuesday's game, as he will be key again against an unpredictable Sixers team.

If Williams sits out, it will be his eighth missed game of the year. The Thunder are 5-2 without the sophomore forward this season.
