Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams was ruled out of the remainder of the game against the Detroit Pistons after suffering a left ankle sprain.
Williams exited the game at the 9:07 mark in the fourth quarter. He was ruled out a few minutes later.
At the time he was taken out of the game, the Thunder trailed the Pistons by 18 points.
Williams finishes his night with six points, four rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes of play in the starting lineup. He shot 2-for-10 from the field and missed all three 3-pointers he attempted.
Williams is the only player who has appeared in all 50 Thunder games this season. That streak is in jeopardy, depending on the severity of the injury and the willingness of head coach Mark Daigneault to play him if he is experiencing any discomfort. This season, the Thunder have been very cautious about having athletes play through injury.
The forward joins a long injury list that includes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (plantar fasciitis), Darius Bazley (left foot contusion), Al Horford (shut down), Mike Muscala (ankle), and the trio of Lu Dort, Isaiah Roby and Josh Hall, who are in concussion protocol.
Oklahoma City’s next game is scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. against the Charlotte Hornets. It will be the first night of a back-to-back.
