Thunder forward Jalen Williams exited the game and was taken to the locker room midway through the third quarter Wednesday in Game 2 of the NBA Playoffs against the Suns.
Williams appeared to have tweaked his left hamstring after attacking the rim and didn't get back on defense during the possession.
Williams previously missed 26 total regular season games with a right hamstring strain after missing time early in the year with a wrist injury.
He had 19 points and four assists in 23 minutes before exiting the floor.
