With 5:53 left in the third quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Phoenix Suns, Jalen Williams was replaced by Cason Wallace. Less than a minute earlier, Williams streaked down the left side of the quarter for a fast break layup. Unfortunately, he looked to have tweaked something on the landing. Williams stayed in the game for a bit but then eventually made his way to the locker room.
Williams is now questionable to return with a left hamstring injury. The injury that caused Williams to miss games during the regular season was to the right hamstring.

Huge bummer. He's played so well in these first 2 games.
