The Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. The Thunder will enter Paycom Center with a 1-0 lead, which they earned earlier at the same venue. As the Thunder look to double their lead, the onus is on the Minnesota Timberwolves to find answers quickly. The Timberwolves can't afford to fall behind early and will need to deliver an equalizer.

Although Williams didn't produce the same numbers as SGA, he's been exceptional for the Thunder throughout the season. With attention focused on Shai, Williams will have the opportunity to make his own headlines. Given his expected supporting role, it's crucial to confirm Williams' status for tonight's game. Let's take a gaze at the Oklahoma City Thunder injury report to know whether Jalen Williams will play tonight or not.
