OKLAHOMA CITY — One starter from each team was ruled OUT for the remainder of Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, both dealing with apparent hamstring injuries.
Jalen Williams, who sat out six playoff games with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain before returning for Game 1 against the Spurs, exited the first quarter with 1:34 to play and did not return. The Thunder announced he would miss the remainder of the game with left hamstring tightness in the second half after Cason Wallace started in his place.
Spurs rookie Dylan Harper, meanwhile, took several hard falls in the fourth quarter before making his way to the locker room with his jersey pulled over his face. He played 25 minutes, logging 12 points on 50 percent shooting from the field, two rebounds and three assists.
San Antonio only cited Harper’s “right leg” when announcing Harper would miss the remainder of the game, but it appears the point guard was favoring his right hamstring.
Neither Williams nor Harper have received a return timeline. The Spurs currently hold a 1-0 lead over the Thunder, with Game 3 scheduled for Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. Central on NBC.
