Availability
Kenrich Williams scored a career-high 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-7 3PT, 3-4 FT) and grabbed nine rebounds in Oklahoma City's 116-106 loss to San Antonio on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Williams' previous career-high was 24 points against the Lakers in an overtime loss on February 10, 2021. It was just his second 20-point game of the season and only the fifth of his eight-year career. With the Thunder shorthanded on Wednesday, Williams made his first start of the year and played a season-high 35 minutes. Needless to say, Williams' career night was, more than likely, an exception to the rule.
Williams finished with 18 points on 8-of-13 shooting, eight rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Wednesday's victory over Milwaukee. He missed his only free-throw attempt in the contest.
Fantasy Impact
The scoring output marked Williams' sixth double-digit performance of the season and came within three points of his season-high. Ajay Mitchell exited Wednesday's game with a hip contusion, opening additional opportunities for Williams in the rotation.
Kenrich Williams is off the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact
Williams will likely be eased back on his way back. He could hold some streaming appeal later in the season.
Kenrich Williams underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee on Monday and will be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Williams will miss at least the next six weeks, which rules him out for the start of the season. Last season with the Oklahoma City Thunder, he played in 69 games, averaging 6.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 16.4 minutes. Aaron Wiggins and Ousmane Dieng are likely candidates to receive more playing time during his absence.
