SAN ANTONIO -- After making a dramatic return for Thursday's Game 6, Oklahoma City Thunder star wing Jalen Williams was able to make only minimal contributions and opted not to make any postgame comments.
Williams scored only one point while the Thunder were outscored by 18 in his 10 minutes during the 118-91 loss to the San Antonio Spurs that evened the Western Conference finals.
Williams, who missed the previous three games because of a left hamstring strain he aggravated in Game 2 of the series, was upgraded from questionable to available minutes before tipoff. He didn't join his teammates in the layup lines until 5:00 remained on the pregame clock.
Oklahoma City started with the same starting lineup as Game 5, with Jared McCain in Williams' usual spot. Williams came off the bench for the first time since Dec. 10, 2022, when he was a rookie, and served as the ninth man in the Thunder's rotation.
