Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> All-NBA wing Jalen Williams<\/a> underwent a follow-up procedure on his surgically repaired right wrist to remove a screw that was creating irritation during the final stages of his return-to-play process, the team announced Friday.<\/p>\n

He will be reevaluated in 10 to 14 days.<\/p>\n

The procedure was performed by Dr. Steven Shin at Cedars-Sinai Health in Los Angeles with Thunder medical personnel present. Shin performed the original operation in early July to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in Williams’ shooting wrist, an injury that he played with during the Thunder’s postseason championship run.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City is off to a 6-0 start despite multiple injuries, including the absence of Williams, who averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game last season.<\/p>\n

Williams signed an extension of his rookie contract in July that includes supermax escalators if he repeats as an All-NBA selection, which would require playing a minimum of 65 games to be eligible. He will miss at least the first 11 games of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tim MacMahonNov 1, 2025, 08:43 AM CloseJoined ESPNDallas.com in September 2009Covers the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas MavericksAppears regularly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-254083","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
