Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams gave Oklahoma City fans a scare on Wednesday when he exited the team’s road victory against the Golden State Warriors due to a right eye injury.
However, it appears the issue was minor, as Williams does not appear on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
This suggests the forward is expected to play, according to Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman via X. Williams’ availability will provide a boost for the Thunder as they prepare to face a tough Lakers team.
On the other side, the Lakers will avoid facing Alex Caruso, who has been ruled out for Friday’s matchup against his former team. Caruso is dealing with a right hip strain, which will sideline him for a third straight game.
The All-Defensive Team honoree has been a crucial piece for his current team, and his absence will leave a noticeable gap in their defensive lineup.
