Sports: Thunder Lose Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace to Surgery, Possibly for the Season

Brutal news out of OKC. Thunder GM Sam Presti says Jalen Williams suffered a dislocated left ankle and fractured fibula in Sunday's win over the Clippers, and Cason Wallace tore the labrum in his left shoulder in the same game, according to ESPN and NBC Sports.

Both need surgery, and Presti said timelines will come after the procedures. Reports say both could miss most, if not all, of the season. Williams went down on a drive with 1:14 left and was stretchered off to a standing ovation, giving the crowd two thumbs up.

It is a gut punch for Williams, who signed a reported five-year, $239 million max and lost most of last season to wrist and hamstring injuries. Wallace had just signed a reported five-year, $139 million extension. "The train's gotta keep moving," Presti said, per NBA.com.
