The Oklahoma City Thunder are 18-1 with an NBA-best +16.4 net rating and are set to improve further with the return of All-NBA forward Jalen Williams, who is expected to debut on Friday against the Suns after recovering from wrist surgeries. Despite his strong performance last season and missing out on postseason award eligibility this year, Williams’ salary is set to rise significantly from $6.6 million to $41.5 million next season.
