Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams is off the injury report and will return to action on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, multiple sources tell ESPN. Williams missed the last 5-plus weeks due to a hamstring strain, and now is back with 11 regular-season games left.

@CAlmanza1007 I don’t think I’ve ever disagree with anything I’ve seen you say until now. First, some of those ejections weren’t deserving but what would you have wanted them to do in that moment

I respect Mitchell's, J-Will's and Wallace's stances, but you can't lower yourself to the Wizards' level. They have nothing to play for. You're hoping to get the 1st seed. We'll see if any suspensions are handed out, but the risk was not worth the reward against a bottom-feeder

@BooGhan @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 Legit watch one full game that he plays in and you can’t still think that. Dude rarely complains (opposed to others stars) even though he’s led the league in drives for years. When you do that, you get fouled. Some of them shouldn’t be called but he rarely does what you claim.

@Adam4President @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 SGA aint a 'you reach, I teach' kind of player. He more like 'Get slight bump, I flail & flop' Not just me sharing the same sentiment. Most opposing coaches/players hates his style. And the league market his 'clean blocks' as great defense. Hard to root for him, ngl

"Jaylen Brown is absolutely right, this is a manipulation of the game." 🗣️ Lou Williams says SGA is playing chess, while defenders trying to guard him are playing checkers 💯 @MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons | @TeamLou23

@dailyokla @BooGhan @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 In my 40’s & the old way basketball was played I enjoyed more. However,. SGA has leads the league in drives for years, the more you drive to the paint, the more likely you get fouled going there.. I don’t agree with all his moves,nor other player, but he’s a real good shooter

@Adam4President @BooGhan @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 Dude his head jerks back though!!!! How can you possibly enjoy his game!!!!!!!!

@KDilkington35 @HoopFocusX 18 minutes last game and 19 tonight

@HoopFocusX Mark would sooner throw Dort out there for his guaranteed 28 minutes a night no matter what happens, or who else is on the team

Once JDub comes back, you have too many other options who don’t bleed value on offense

@srs_candidate @HoopFocusX I’d also argue that Lou has more open shots. I think defenders at least play Cason differently because he has speed

@srs_candidate @HoopFocusX I see your point/concern with Cason as well but he’s still on a rookie deal

@CoreyDeMoss I think/hope that Dub playing helps these numbers somehow.

The disappearance of Dort and Caruso’s 3-point shooting this year really sucks. Their 3-point percentages the last 3 seasons: Dort: 39.4, 41.2, 33.4 Caruso: 40.8, 35.3, 30.2

@ShadeShunn @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 As a pistons fan, the sooner you realize that Ausar seems to be at his peak, the less it’ll hurt later.

@RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 So Cade, Duren, and Ausar are benched for who exactly?

"There's 4 or 5 guys on OKC's bench that would start on the Detroit Pistons." 👀 Chandler Parsons says the Thunder acquiring Jared McCain was one of the biggest steals of the trade deadline 🗣️ @MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons | @TeamLou23

@BooGhan @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 Even as an SGA fan I can admit I don’t like him and others drawing fouls all the time but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t deserve credit for getting his team as many points as possible with the rules as they are today. Most points wins!

@BooGhan @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 So what you’re saying is you don’t like to be wrong? None of us do, I get it. I said remove the ones you say should be fouls and you’d still witness incredible shot making. Jordan said “you reach, I teach.” Kobe, Wade, and countless others.

@BooGhan @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 I want you to remove anything foul or free throw related and only watch how he makes his shots and the percentages he shoots (without ones u feel are offensive fouls) and still see how good he is…..then watch other greats at his position and see if they do any of that? They did

@RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 Nothing about SGA's game excites fans. Add his head popping back every time he drives, then more people are rooting for SGA and OKC to fail

@HardinJenner @dailythunder I don’t want it to happen but if I’m a GM I’m willing to give several firsts for Ajay and budget to keep him on another 5 year deal after this one is gone.

@dailythunder That's 60 points per 36 min right there, currently. Insane. Aaannd, all locked in through the 27-28 season. I personally think Ajay Mitchell will be an All-star within 3 years and has the highest ceiling. McCain could also get there. Joe could get 6th MOTY down the road.

the trio of Ajay Mitchell - Jared McCain - Isaiah Joe will cost 18.5 million combined next season.

@fkMikeyy @dailythunder CRAZY 🤪

@dailythunder the same amount the bulls pay Patrick fucking Williams

@DDub1k @roberts_ro5887 @CAlmanza1007 Exactly. The past is not this season he’s been good but far from great and he’s doing the opposite of Giddey. One sided and I’d much rather have a good scorer than defender since this team has plenty of the defensive side. Contract year possibility too so guys are usually better

@roberts_ro5887 @CAlmanza1007 U haven’t watched Lu dort this season then. His defense has not been game changing this year. He played only 18 minutes last night because they couldn’t run any offense with him on the floor

Mark Daigneault on Jared McCain’s defense: “We’re not asking him to be Lu, Caruso or Cason. He just gotta be sound.”

@All_InGoodFaith @TheHoopHerald All 3 or 4 of them? He just came back from the injury

@TheHoopHerald Well if you watched the games you would’ve seen he was playing like absolute garbage

The Sixers had this guy in the G League?

@squeeze2k @patsixers @TheHoopHerald Right? Fans, and apparently Morey, were real short term plans here. Dudes on a rookie deal and absolutely could’ve got more for him in the offseason.

@patsixers @TheHoopHerald Who comes back off a season ending injury and starts killing immediately?

@veryHighLander @TheHoopHerald Imagine thinking this was only one game and realizing that if he’d been in OKC all year he’d be competing for 6th man of the year

@TheHoopHerald I had him in fantasy team most of the season, they gave him plenty chances, he sucked ass. Two made threes wont change an abysmall season.

@NBAMemes Out of timeout this happened? Did I hear that right

Last night gotta be the final straw before referees start getting penalized. Giving the ball to the WRONG team is peak blunder 🤣

@fargofargone @TheHerd @colincowherd @channingfrye Yeah it’s so easy to make wide open shots at 55% rate all the time, that’s why every other player in the league does it. Right? I mean nobody’s guarding a free throw so everyone should be efficient…right? Right?

@TheHerd @colincowherd @channingfrye For the love of Christ.. it’s so easy to be efficient when you have 3 feet of space due to nobody wanting to called for a foul. Like if you simulate this 1M times, the data will show you this
