Is Jalen Williams playing tonight? Thunder vs. Spurs 2026 Western Conference Finals Game 3 injury report

The Oklahoma City Thunder will look to return the favor and steal a win on the home floor of the San Antonio Spurs as they face off in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals at Frost Bank Center on Friday.

The Spurs upset the Thunder at Paycom Center in double overtime in Game 1 before the defending champions evened the best-of-seven series in Game 2.

Oklahoma City defeated San Antonio, 122-113, despite the exit of Jalen Williams in the first quarter after he reaggravated his hamstring injury.

It was a tough development for Williams, who had just returned in Game 1 after a six-game absence. He had four points, one rebound, and two steals in seven minutes in Game 2.

Based on the NBA’s injury report, Williams was listed as questionable for Game 3.

The Thunder can take that as a positive sign, although it would be interesting to see how mobile the one-time All-Star would be if he suits up, given his recurring issue.

In four games in the playoffs, the 25-year-old forward is averaging 17.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 steals.

The Thunder have hardly missed Williams in their quest to retain the throne, with Ajay Mitchell, Alex Caruso, Cason Wallace, and Jared McCain proving to be equally dependable on both ends of the floor.

Caruso, in particular, has been phenomenal. He is putting up 24.0 points on 61.1% shooting from three-point range against the Spurs, adding 2.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks.

Williams was limited to a career-low 33 games in the regular season due to a wrist injury.
