Availability
In just his third game back from offseason wrist surgery, Jalen Williams notched his first 20-point performance of the season during Tuesday's win over the Warriors. Despite stating after the game that he still does not feel entirely comfortable on the floor, the forward poured in 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting to go with six assists, three rebounds, a steal, and a block.
Fantasy Impact
The efficient outing highlights a positive trend, as his scoring output has risen in each of his appearances since his return. However, his perimeter game remains a work in progress; he went 0-for-4 from deep on Tuesday and has attempted only five three-pointers total across his three games.
Jalen Williams scored 16 points (7-18 FG, 2-2 FT) with eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks in Sunday's 123-115 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Fantasy Impact
In just his second game of the season, Williams logged 34 minutes, showing no early limitations. He’s off to a solid start, averaging 13.5 points, six rebounds, 6.5 assists, two blocks and one steal in 31.5 minutes per game, and his numbers should continue to rise as he becomes more comfortable on the floor.
Jalen Williams scored 11 points (3-12 FG, 1-1 3P, 4-4 FT) with four rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and a block in the Thunder's 123-119 win over the Suns on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Williams struggled to find his shot in his first game back from injury, but he was able to contribute in a meaningful way in every other aspect. So much for a potential ramp-up period, Williams played 29 minutes, so it's unlikely that he will see a massive minutes increase moving forward. However, his efficiency should get better, and that's what matters.
Jalen Williams is available for Friday’s game against the Suns.
