Oklahoma City has ruled out Williams due to Grade 1 left hamstring strain that caused him to exit Wednesday's game in the third quarter and he is expected to be re-evaluated on a weekly basis.

With Williams sidelined, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins could all be in line for increased roles until the star forward is cleared to return.

The Thunder have also ruled out Thomas Sorber as he continues to recover from a torn ACL while Joe has been listed as doubtful and is not expected to play due to personal reasons.
