NBA insider Clemente Almanza of OKC Thunder Wire reported Wednesday that the door remains open for Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams to return in time for the 2027 NBA playoffs. The update comes after Williams spoke to reporters following the Thunder's victory over the Denver Nuggets on October 22, 2026, at Paycom Center.
Almanza did not specify the nature of Williams' absence but indicated that a return by the 2027 postseason is not being ruled out. The Thunder defeated the Nuggets in the second half of that game, with Williams addressing media afterward.
