Oklahoma City forward Jalen Williams was taken off the court on a stretcher after a flagrant-1 foul by Kris Dunn late in the fourth quarter, as the Thunder beat the Los Angeles Clippers 108-101.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams was stretchered off the court late in the fourth quarter of a home game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Williams attempted a dunk at the 1:15 mark, was fouled by Kris Dunn, who received a flagrant-1 penalty, and fell awkwardly on his left leg, prompting immediate medical attention. He signaled he was okay with two thumbs-up as he was escorted out, while fans chanted his nickname.
"I just feel bad for him," Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said in a post-game interview. "... We just got to hold the fort down until he comes back."
The Thunder also lost guard Cason Wallace to left-shoulder soreness, which forced him out at halftime. Despite the injuries, Oklahoma City secured a 108-101 victory, improving to 3-0 on the season and preparing to host the Phoenix Suns on Monday.
