The 2026 Western Conference Finals return to Oklahoma City on Tuesday, May 26 for a pivotal Game 5, with the series now tied 2-2 after San Antonio seized momentum with a commanding Game 4 win. The Thunder also still face the possibility of being without star forward Jalen Williams for Tuesday’s game.
Williams remains questionable for the critical matchup against the Spurs due to a lingering left hamstring strain, which has already kept him out of the last two games. His absence looms large for Oklahoma City, as Williams averaged a little over 28 minutes and 17 points per game during the regular season.
The Thunder, who will already be missing key reserve Ajay Mitchell tonight, are hoping to rebound from a tough 102-82 defeat to the Spurs on Sunday, May 24. Oklahoma City’s offense struggled to find rhythm, resulting in a postseason-low point total. San Antonio sensation Victor Wembanyama was a dominant force, posting an impressive 33 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks in the decisive victory.
Following Game 5 in Oklahoma City, the series will shift back to San Antonio for Game 6 on Thursday, May 28.
