Jalen Williams has been ruled out for the Western Conference Finals-deciding contest against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.
Williams returned to action in Game 6 after missing the previous three games with left hamstring strain management. However, he had a limited role, playing just 10 minutes off the bench in the blowout loss.
The one-time all-star suffered the strain in Round 1, but re-aggravated it after just seven minutes of game time in Game 2 of the West Finals.
In just five games this post-season, Williams is averaging 21.4 minutes, 14.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and a steal.
Williams has battled injuries throughout this campaign. He appeared in just 33 regular-season games and has missed nine playoff contests, including all of Round 2.
Jared McCain has started in Williams’ place throughout the West Finals.
