Jones continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. However, the rookie forward has received inconsistent playing time for the Thunder while with the parent club.

Not returning Saturday
A previous report left Williams off the injury report, but the third-year forward is still working through a right hip strain and will miss his second straight game Saturday. Aaron Wiggins will likely remain in the Thunder's starting five for as long as Williams is sidelined.

Set to play against Detroit
Despite Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault saying earlier in the week that Williams does not have a return timetable due to a right hip strain, it appears that the star forward will return to action Saturday after missing just one contest. Williams should reclaim his starting spot from Aaron Wiggins and has averaged 22.8 points, 6.3 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 32.5 minutes across his previous 10 outings.

Absent from injury report
Caruso was a late scratch prior to Wednesday's game against Boston due to an illness, but he's set to be available for Saturday. With Chet Holmgren resting and Aaron Wiggins dealing with an illness, Caruso could see an uptick in playing time against the Pistons. The veteran swingman has averaged 8.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in 19.1 minutes while shooting 48.1 percent from deep over nine games since the All-Star break.

Questionable for Saturday
Wiggins is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season due to an illness. If the 26-year-old forward is sidelined, Isaiah Joe, Alex Caruso and Kenrich Williams are candidates for a bump in playing time.
