OKC Thunder’s Kenrich Williams set to make 2023-24 season debut
The Oklahoma City Thunder will get a chance to welcome Kenrich Williams back after missing the first 10 games of the 2023-24 regular season with back spasms.
The 28-year-old was no longer listed on the injury report for the Thunder’s play-in tournament game against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, which means he’ll be available to play.
With his pending return, the Thunder get one of their more reliable wings back after a lengthy absence.
In 53 games last season, Williams averaged eight points, 4.9 rebounds and two assists before he suffered a season-ending wrist injury in March.
With his return, Williams will likely get slotted back into OKC’s rotation as one of the first players off the bench. Considering the Thunder’s rebounding problem — they are 29th in the league in rebounds per game — perhaps the veteran could assist in this area.
