Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Reacts to Potential Loss of Jalen Williams for WCF

The Oklahoma City Thunder were able to even their Western Conference Finals series 1-1 on Wednesday evening, after getting a hard-fought victory against the San Antonio Spurs. OKC received a strong performance from the reigning NBA MVP, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points on 12-of-24 shooting, and also dished out nine assists to teammates. Unfortunately, one of those teammates might be out due to an injury.

Jalen Williams exited the game due to hamstring tightness with 7:18 remaining in the first quarter and he didn’t return for the rest of the matchup. At the time of his exit, he’d contributed just four points on 2-for-4 shooting, but also had two steals and a rebound in his team’s 122-113 win in Oklahoma City. His team still achieved the victory, but losing key members of the lineup could prove difficult for the defending champs.

I still believe in this team though. We played a bunch of games without him. But I still think we can get the job done,” SGA told reporters .
