OKC Thunder star Jalen Williams has been ruled out for Game 5 of the Western Conference finals against the San Antonio Spurs at 7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday.
Williams will miss a third straight game due to left hamstring strain injury management. The former All-NBA forward sustained the injury during Game 2 on Wednesday after being sidelined since April 22 with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.
Sophomore guard Ajay Mitchell has also been ruled out due to a right soleus (calf) strain. This will mark his second straight missed game.
OKC and San Antonio are tied at 2-2 in the best-of-seven series.
