The defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder are 6-0, and their No. 2 scoring option hasn't even returned to the lineup yet.
They'll have to wait a little longer for Jalen Williams, though, as the standout, two-way wing has undergone a follow-up procedure on his right wrist and will be re-evaluated in 10-14 days, the team announced Friday.
The procedure was performed at Cedars-Sinai Health in Los Angeles, where Williams had a screw removed in his wrist that was creating irritation during the home stretch of his return-to-play process.
Williams originally underwent offseason surgery to repair a torn ligament in his wrist and, at the time, was expected to be available for the start of the 2025-26 campaign.
In July, Williams agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension with the Thunder that reportedly could reach $287 million.
The 24-year-old's coming off a breakout season, in which he averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game for a 68-win Oklahoma City squad that won it all.
