Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Another absence coming Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Portland.
Williams will miss his third consecutive game due to a left knee sprain. The second-year center is averaging just 12.6 minutes per contest on the season, so his absence won't be a major one for the Thunder frontcourt. Look for Oklahoma City to turn to Mike Muscala or Bismack Biyombo to fill in at center when starter Chet Holmgren is off the court.

Rotowire
Williams scored three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and added six rebounds and three assists in Thursday's 128-123 loss to the Kings.
