Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams will undergo surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist, general manager Sam Presti said Monday. The first-time All-Star is expected to be available for the start of the 2025–26 regular season as the Thunder begin their defense of the NBA title.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams waited until he was an NBA champion to take his first sip of alcohol. The 24-year-old revealed to ESPN that he had never consumed alcohol before the Thunder’s Game 7 victory over the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 NBA Finals on June 22.

Jalen Williams proves to be a perfect picture of unselfishness with his wholesome gesture for the Thunder after winning the title.
