Injury Report: Jalen Williams Now Missing Time With Wrist Injury

Oklahoma City was down after the All-Star Break, they lost five straight and injuries saw them fall in the Western Conference standings, but now they have found their footing.

The Thunder downed the Jazz in back-to-back games to stop their losing streak and are now just a half game back of the ninth seed in the west. The Jazz, Trail Blazers, Lakers and Pelicans are all currently tied for the ninth position, 15 games back from first, with OKC right on their tails.

The Thunder now turn their attention to the Golden State Warriors, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues his return from injury.

The Thunder injury report is relatively unchanged except for the addition of Jalen Williams who is listed with a right wrist sprain and he’ll miss the game on Tuesday. Williams has been dominant for OKC in their recent stretch as he continues to mark his presence in the NBA.

The Warriors remain without Andrew Wiggins, while Draymond Green is expected to be active despite soreness in his left hand. Both teams continue to fight for position in the west with the Warriors currently in fifth, 12 games behind the first place Nuggets.

Here are the most recent injury reports for both squads entering tonight:

Oklahoma City Thunder:

Chet Holmgren: Out: Right foot surgery

Aleksej Pokusevski: Out: Left Tibial Plateau nondisplaced fracture

Kenrich Williams: Out: Left Wrist Scapholunate Rupture

Golden State Warriors:

Gary Payton II: Out: Right Abductor Soreness

Ryan Rollins: Out: Right Foot Soreness

Andrew Wiggins: Out: Personal Reasons

Draymond Green: Probable: Left Hand Soreness

Andre Iguodala: Probable: Right Hip Soreness

Tip-off for the Warriors and Thunder is slated for 7 p.m. in OKC, the Warriors are currently 4-point favorites.
