Thunder rule out J-Dub for opener as wrist heals
Oklahoma City Thunder star forward Jalen Williams was ruled out of the defending champions' season opener Tuesday night against the Houston Rockets as he continues to recover from offseason surgery on his right wrist.
Thunder coach Mark Daigneault has been consistently vague regarding Williams' timetable to return, saying that he is "progressing" and "right on schedule."
Williams, a third-team All-NBA and second-team All-Defensive selection last season, tore the scapholunate ligament in his wrist on April 9 but delayed the surgery until after Oklahoma City's championship run. Williams needed almost 30 pain-killing injections on the wrist during the playoffs, when he averaged 21.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists, highlighted by a 40-point performance in the Thunder's pivotal win in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
