As the Oklahoma City Thunder build up a 1-0 series lead over the Los Angeles Lakers, they’ll continue to roll along without an All-NBA talent. Jalen Williams has been officially ruled out for Thursday’s Game 2. He’s missed four consecutive playoff games with the injury.
Williams sustained the hamstring strain in OKC’s Game 2 win over the Phoenix Suns. Two weeks later, he remains out. In his absence, the Thunder have rattled off three straight playoff wins. Ajay Mitchell has seamlessly stepped up to be their second go-to scorer.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mitchell Robinson did not play for the New York Knicks on Wednesday night in Game 2 against Philadelphia because of an illness, leaving each team without a center.
The 76ers ruled Joel Embiid out earlier Wednesday with a sprained right ankle and a sore right hip. The Knicks added their backup center to the injury report later in the day and said shortly before tipoff that he wouldn’t play.
Joel Embiid isn’t the only big man missing from Game 2 of the New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers playoff series on Wednesday night.
Knicks center Mitchell Robinson — a key member of the rotation thanks to his terrific defense — will be out for Wednesday night. What’s the reason? He was downgraded to questionable on Wednesday with an illness, and reports said that he was going to be a game-time decision.
The latest? He’ll miss the game due to that illness. No word on what it is or if Robinson will miss more time.
