Jalen Williams had surgery for a right orbital bone fracture.

He will be reevaluated in 7-10 days.

Bummer he’s going to miss some time.

But Masked JDub is very much in play.

Daily Thunder wrote a profile on each OKC player.

From my bit on Poku:

'When Aleksej entered the NBA, he weighed 190 pounds. Including the fanny pack. Poku is now listed at 210. If he continues this trajectory, Year 13 Poku will weigh the same as Shaq.'

We were all so confused when OKC signed 25 year old bruiser Eugene Omoruyi to a 2 way contract.

Totally get it now.

Great debut for the 2022-2023 Thunder.

Got down big to a contender on the road, fought back for a late game lead that ended in a close, competitive loss.

SGA, Giddey and the young core look improved.

Feel OKC fans would happily take 82 of these types of games and 1 Wembanyama.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed the last 10 games of last season and the entire preseason.

Wakes up and scores 30 points in his first NBA game in 7 months.

Special player.

Poku has been better than Anthony Edwards, D'Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns through 3 quarters.

This is a serious tweet.

OKC takes a 6 point lead after being down 16.

Thunder went on a 19-2 run against a hopeful title contender with 4 All Star level players in their own home.

This team fights.

Jalen Williams will not return tonight due to an eye injury.

Really hope he doesn't miss much time. He was already NBA ready in his first game.
