What happened: Oklahoma City Thunder wing Jalen Williams is expected to return to action tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers after missing the last three games with a right ankle sprain. The news was first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic. Williams practiced fully yesterday and is past the questionable tag.

Why it matters: As the No. 1 seed in the West with the top record at 57-25, OKC gains a key scorer averaging 19.4 PPG, enhancing their chances for a wire-to-wire blowout and rest for stars like SGA. Philly, fighting for play-in positioning without Embiid, faces a tougher matchup.

What to watch: Monitor final injury report and Williams' minutes restriction; watch OKC rotations for rest opportunities ahead of playoffs.
