NBA star Jalen Williams suffers gruesome foot injury as teammates weep
Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams suffered a severe left foot injury late in a 108-101 win over the Los Angeles Clippers after landing awkwardly on a drive to the basket, with his foot visibly turned to the side. Williams covered his mouth in disbelief and was carried off the court on a stretcher with towels covering his injured leg; no diagnosis was immediately given. Coach Mark Daigneault said the team was not doing well and that the victory had become secondary. Teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who led Oklahoma City to the 2025 title alongside Williams, fought back tears and said he felt sorry for Williams, adding that it would be hard without such a player but that Williams would return stronger and the team must endure until then. Williams, 25, had already missed many games last season, when the Thunder fell to the San Antonio Spurs in the conference finals.
