Oklahoma City Thunder star forward Jalen Williams will return from a right hamstring injury to play in Monday's road game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Williams wasn't listed on the injury report on Sunday. He last played for Oklahoma City on Feb. 11.

Williams has injured his hamstring twice since the calendar turned to 2026. He was hurt against the Miami Heat on Jan. 17 and missed the following 10 games. However, during his second game back against the Phoenix Suns, he re-injured the hamstring and has missed the last 16 contests.

Williams, 24, also started the season late due to two separate surgeries on his right wrist. He played through the injury during the playoffs last season, averaging 21.4 points while helping the Thunder win the NBA title.

This season, Williams is averaging 17.5 points, 5.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 26 games. He was an All-Star last season when he averaged a career-best 21.6 points per game.

Overall, Williams is averaging 18.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 241 games (228 starts) in four NBA seasons.
