It’s barely been a week since Jalen Williams dropped a season-high 41 points against the San Antonio Spurs. He and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander combined for 72 points that night. However, it seems as though Shai will have to make do without his partner-in-crime tonight for the rest of the second leg of the back-to-back against the Denver Nuggets.
Why? Well, things didn’t look good for Williams after it took him a minute to get up after the foul by Peyton Watson. He stayed in the game before limping to the locker room, clutching his hip. And now we know what’s up, and Thunder fans, you won’t like it. The OKC Thunder forward will not return for the remainder of the Denver Nuggets game.
He seems to have strained his right hip in that fall in the second quarter. Williams had a solid performance with 12 points, 6 assists, and 2 rebounds in just 14 minutes.
