Jalen Williams says it's been fun to take a step back and watch this Thunder team, with guys like Jaylin Williams, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, and Ajay Mitchell all shining in bigger roles this season for OKC while he has been sidelined, but he also prefers playing with his teammates rather than spectating.

“From a team perspective, watching guys go into different roles and watch them blossom is really cool.”

He also mentioned that this time away with a hamstring has somewhat been a blessing in disguise, giving him more time to rehab and let his wrist recover after surgery over the offseason.
