Jalen Williams Undergoes Surgery For Orbital Bone Fracture
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams has undergone surgery to repair an orbital bone fracture and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days. He was hit in the eye by Jaden McDaniels's elbow in Wednesday's 115-108 loss to Minnesota and had to leave the game. Williams managed to score five points in six minutes in his NBA debut before being forced to exit. This is a bad injury blow for the youngster who was set to play a significant role for the Thunder right off the bat, but hopefully he can make a quick return to action. Darius Bazley and Tre Mann, who combined for 19 points in Wednesday's loss, are set to benefit from Williams' absence and should get more playing time.
