**SAN FRANCISCO, CA** – Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams left Wednesday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors after suffering a right eye injury. The injury occurred late in the second quarter after a dunk by the Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga. Williams remained on the court for several minutes before limping to the locker room with assistance.

The Thunder subsequently announced that Williams would not return to the game. Prior to the injury, the rising star had a strong performance, contributing 13 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and two steals in just 16 minutes of play. The Thunder held a 62-50 lead at halftime.

Williams, averaging 22.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game this season, is a key player for the young, contending Thunder team. His absence is a significant blow to Oklahoma City. The team also saw Chet Holmgren leave Sunday’s game with an injury. The news of Williams’ injury comes as Isaiah Hartenstein made his return after recovering from a hand fracture.
