Thunder's Jalen Williams Stretchered Off With Leg Injury

Jalen Williams was stretchered off after landing awkwardly on his left leg on a dunk attempt with about 1:15 left in the Thunder's 108-101 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026. Kris Dunn was assessed a flagrant-1 foul; Derrick Jones Jr. was also involved in the contact. Staff covered the leg with towels, fitted an air cast, and worked for several minutes as the crowd quieted and fans covered their faces. Williams gave two thumbs up while wheeled off to "J-Dub" chants. Oklahoma City moved to 3-0. The team issued no official diagnosis. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander pulled his jersey over his face and later wiped away tears. He said, "I don't even know. I just feel bad for him, nothing more than that," "We just got to hold the fort down until he comes back," and "It's obviously going to be tough without a player like that. But he's not gone forever. He'll be back better than ever, and we know it." Mark Daigneault said, "That's tough on the guys. We're not doing great." Williams played 33 games last season and 5 of 15 postseason games. CONTESTED: A wire summary attributed the foul to Derrick Jones Jr.; game accounts said Dunn drew the flagrant-1 with Jones Jr. also in the contact. Official diagnosis: none found.
