Jalen Williams made a notable return to action Monday, scoring 23 points in his limited 24-minute outing against the Lakers. Although struggling with field goal efficiency, going 6-of-17, his 11-of-13 performance from the free throw line helped bolster his contribution. Following nearly a month sidelined by a hamstring injury, Williams is expected to have his minutes monitored, likely participating against Phoenix while potentially resting for Thursday’s matchup against Milwaukee.
