The team will play on Monday in Cleveland.\n\nIn the play where he got injured, Williams drove into the paint, spun, and attempted a behind-the-head pass to Chet Holmgren near the basket. Immediately afterward, he grabbed the back of his leg and remained in Oklahoma City&#8217;s offensive zone while play continued.\n\nThe Thunder called a timeout eight seconds later. Team personnel briefly attended to Williams, who limped off the court toward the Oklahoma City locker room.\n\nBefore the injury, Williams accumulated 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists in 13 minutes of play. So far this season, he averages 17.2 points, 5.7 assists, and 4.8 rebounds.
