The 23-year-old's preseason finale against the Atlanta Hawks was cut short when he walked to the locker room. After two days, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said he is day to day with the ankle sprain. Williams was spotted at the Thunder's practice. He worked on mostly catch-and-shoot 3-pointers from what the media observed.

The Thunder are in for a season of massive expectations. And while the players must deliver in a big way all season, much of it circles back to the head coach. Fortunately, Daigneault has done a commendable job of balancing sticking to his principles and allowing players to execute a playstyle that feels most comfortable for them.
