Last-minute Changes, Reports and News ahead of Mavericks vs. Thunder

Sunday night against the Clippers, 1-14 left in the fourth quarter, Jalen Williams lands awkwardly on a drive.

We all saw the video.

Game stopped for about five minutes.

They had to bring out a stretcher.

And on Monday, it was confirmed that it was a broken left fibula and a dislocated left ankle that will require surgery.

Sam Presti came out and said there was no timetable and there won't be one until after the surgery.

AP says it's reasonable to think that he could probably miss the rest of the season.

That's a former all-star and all-NBA wing, and honestly, nobody wants to see that.

You hope he comes back all the way, and it was a gruesome injury that we hope he recovers from fully.

In that same game, though, they also lost Kaysen Wallace as he tore the labrum in his left shoulder.

He has surgery as well.

He was all defensive last season.

And it doesn't stop there for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Chet Holmgren is out with a right knee tendonitis, his second straight game.

Alex Caruso sprained his right ankle on Monday.

Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber are still out after surgeries.

So what did the Thunder do the next night? Without Williams, without Wallace? Well, they beat the Phoenix Suns 125 to 114.

A.J. Mitchell dropped a career-high 30 points on 10 of 16 shooting.

Now, he himself is also questionable tonight with a right ankle sprain.

Keep an eye out on that one because if he can't go, Oklahoma City, they're running out of guards.

They always will still have MVP Shea Gilchrist-Alexander, who's averaging 27.3 points a game through four games this season.

Mark Dagnall put it simply, quote, he's amazing in every situation.

And the defense is still elite through four games.

OKC is holding teams to 100.8 points per game on 41.2% shooting and forcing nearly 20 turnovers a game.

Remember that number, though, is it's going to come back later.
