Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams has been ruled out for tonight's Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, per @ShamsCharania.
The Thunder will be forced to compete in the winner-take-all matchup without one of their most impactful starters. Williams has been a core component of Oklahoma City's rotation throughout the playoffs, and his absence comes at a critical moment as the team seeks a trip to the NBA Finals. No specific injury details were immediately provided regarding the late scratch.
The series between the Thunder and the Spurs is currently tied 3-3. With Williams unavailable, the Oklahoma City coaching staff will need to adjust their starting lineup and rotation for the deciding game of the series. The winner of tonight's contest will advance to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals.
