Jalen Williams has wrist surgery; Thunder All-Star expected back for start of season
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Jalen Williams, the All-Star guard/forward who helped the Oklahoma City Thunder win their first NBA title, had surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist. The team said he will be re-evaluated in approximately 12 weeks. Thunder general manager Sam Presti said he expects Williams to be ready for the start of the regular season. Williams averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals last season and was named to the All-NBA third team and the NBA All-Defensive second team. He was injured during the Thunder's 125-112 win over the Phoenix Suns on April 9 and played in all 23 postseason games while nursing the torn ligament. Williams averaged 23.6 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in the Finals against the Indiana Pacers, including a playoff career-high 40 points in a 120-109 win in Game 5. 'I really thought it was pretty impressive that he just kept moving along with no excuses and obviously played his best basketball down the stretch of the season,' Presti said.

Alabama Makes Major Ryan Williams Announcement on Tuesday
Alabama Makes Major Ryan Williams Announcement on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite being one of the youngest players across all of college football this past season at just 17 years old, Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams was a star for the Crimson Tide. Advertisement The former five-star recruit who reclassified from the 2025 recruiting class to the 2024 was one of the few bright spots in what was Alabama's worst season since 2007. He finished the year with 48 catches for 865 yards and eight receiving touchdowns while also adding two scores on the ground. His stellar showing earned him Freshman All-American honors, and he was also named First-Team All-SEC. With the college football season about 60 days away from kicking off, preseason honors are starting to be dished out, and Williams has been on the receiving end. As shared to social media by the program, Williams was one of three players named to the Walter Camp Preseason All-America team. Joining him in receiving this honor were left tackle Kadyn Proctor, who also received a first-team nod, and defensive lineman Tim Keenan III, a second-team selection. Advertisement Although there are quite a few preseason All-America honors that have yet to be named, Walter Camp claims to be the "nation's oldest college football All-America team." Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Ryan David Mercer-Imagn Images In this year's edition, it was revealed in a release by Walter Camp that 34 different programs were represented throughout the first and second teams. The SEC continues to show its dominance, with the most schools represented, 12. The release also revealed that Alabama was one of five schools with three players named to a preseason All-America team. With Alabama expected to have a better passing quarterback in either Ty Simpson or Keelon Russell, Williams could be due for an even bigger sophomore season.
