US EditionThunder’s Jalen Williams Officially Set To Make Return On Friday
- On Friday, Oklahoma City Thunder All-NBA guard Jalen Williams will make his season debut against the Phoenix Suns after being removed from the injury report.
- After right wrist surgery in July and a screw removal on Oct. 31, Jalen Williams played through a torn ligament during the playoffs, rarely discussing the injury.
- Last season, Williams averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals and earned All-NBA and All-Defense honors, reflecting his breakout two-way role.
- Oklahoma City will be cautious in reintroducing Williams, citing Chet Holmgren's precedent, and his presence should stabilize late-game offense and add versatile defense despite the Thunder's 18-1 start.
- His return begins a new phase testing the Thunder's championship core, with Williams ineligible for postseason honors and the $287 million super maximum contract kicker, ESPN reported.
