Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 02:31 · Archive

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams suffered a serious lower left leg injury during the second half of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, forcing him off the court on a stretcher. He went down while being fouled on a drive with 1:14 remaining, with medical personnel tending to him almost immediately underneath the basket. Williams' ankle was draped with towels as players from both teams reacted with immediate dismay. The game was stopped for about five minutes before the Thunder completed a 108-101 victory.

Williams, a shooting guard who has averaged 18 points per game in his first 250 NBA contests, has been an All-Star and an All-NBA player. He was a significant contributor to the Thunder team that won the 2025 NBA title. Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander spoke after the game, fighting back tears as he said, 'Just feel bad for him.'

There was no immediate diagnosis from the Thunder. Coach Mark Daigneault said the team would be briefed Monday morning with the latest updates on Williams' condition, adding 'We're not doing great.'
