Oklahoma City star Jalen Williams might be available for the NBA Finals should the Thunder advance, coach Mark Daigneault said prior to Saturday’s Game 7 at home against the San Antonio Spurs.

Williams is out with a left hamstring injury for the finale of the Western Conference showdown. The series is tied at 3-3 and the winner will face the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals, which begin Wednesday.

Williams, 25, played 10 minutes off the bench in Game 6 and struggled due to the injury, scoring one point and committing two turnovers. Daigneault said Williams didn’t sustain a setback.

“He’s feeling about the same as he did,” Daigneault told reporters. “He actually came out of the game pretty good for where he is in a normal rehab. Depending on what happens tonight, if we’re fortunate enough to win and advance, he’ll continue this rehab, and we’ll take the same process as we go forward.”

Williams has played in just three games in this series and five overall in the postseason due to the hamstring injuries. He hurt the left hamstring against the Phoenix Suns in the first round and missed six straight games. He reaggravated the injury in Game 2 of the series against the Spurs.

Williams is averaging 14.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in the postseason.
