Drops out of rotation
Williams has now failed to play in both of the last two contests, with the recent returns of Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Hartenstein from extended absences seemingly bumping the veteran forward out of the rotation. The Thunder will likely call upon Williams to play some spot minutes when multiple key players are sitting out due to injury, but he'll face an even more difficult path to playing time once Jalen Williams (hamstring) returns to the mix.

Another absence coming
Carlson will miss a ninth consecutive game due to a back strain. The second-year big man looks to be out indefinitely, but his next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Nets in Brooklyn.

Still out with hamstring strain
Williams has no timetable for a return from a right hamstring strain, which is costing him a 14th straight game. His next chance to play comes Wednesday, when the Thunder take on the Nets in Brooklyn, but he can be considered doubtful for future contests until the team provides an update.
