The Oklahoma City Thunder's opportunity to defend their NBA title hinges on a decisive Game 7 against the San Antonio Spurs.

Williams has been officially ruled out due to a left hamstring strain, an injury that previously caused him to miss Games 3, 4, and 5.
Williams had a brief return in Game 6, but his limited 10 minutes and apparent discomfort highlighted his compromised condition. Coach Mark Daigneault acknowledged Williams was not at 100% but wanted to contribute. Adding to the Thunder's challenges, Ajay Mitchell is also sidelined for Game 7 with a right soleus strain, marking his fourth consecutive game missed due to the injury. The Thunder must overcome these significant absences to advance to the NBA Finals.
