Jalen Williams Out For Game 4

The Thunder will once again be short-handed in Game 4, as Jalen Williams has been downgraded to out with hamstring soreness, Rylan Stiles of Locked On Thunder notes (via Twitter).

Oklahoma City took Game 3 123-108 without Williams, and will try to replicate that success as the team looks to take a 3-1 lead over the Spurs heading back home.

They are already shorthanded, as it was announced that they would be without breakout guard Ajay Mitchell due to a right soleus strain. Mitchell has started a majority of the games Williams has missed this postseason; with him sidelined, the Thunder will need to find another source of offense to help complement the rest of the starting lineup.

Cason Wallace will start in place of Williams, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman notes (via Twitter). Alex Caruso and Jared McCain have stepped up offensively throughout the series, and their contributions will be even more important with the bench shorthanded.
