Kenrich Williams has agreed to a 1-year, $5 million contract to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder for the 2026-27 season.
Fantasy Impact
Williams had his team option declined by the Thunder, but he will now return to the team after taking a slightly smaller deal. The forward averaged 6.5 points and 3.3 rebounds while playing 15.3 minutes per game with OKC last season and will likely slide right back into a similar role.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are declining Kenrich Williams' $7.2 million team option.
Fantasy Impact
Williams is now an unrestricted free agent after the Thunder opted to let go of his team option. The 31-year-old averaged 6.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in the regular season, but did not get much run in the postseason for the Thunder.
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.
