Jalen Williams, Dylan Harper To Undergo MRIs After Game 2 Exits
Hoops Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Thunder forward Jalen Williams left Game 2 of the Western Conference finals early due to left hamstring tightness, the same injury that sidelined him earlier in the playoffs; he will undergo an MRI to assess the severity.
- Spurs guard Dylan Harper also exited Game 2 with a right hamstring injury and is scheduled for an MRI, raising concerns about his availability alongside injured starting point guard De’Aaron Fox.
- Williams played just over seven minutes before leaving the game, and if he misses more time, players like Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace could see increased roles for the Thunder.
- The Spurs may need to rely more on Stephon Castle and veteran Jordan McLaughlin at point guard if both Fox and Harper are unavailable, despite Castle's recent struggles with turnovers.
- Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson emphasized Fox's ongoing recovery from a high ankle sprain, noting the difficulty of playing through the injury and the team's cautious approach to his return.
