Jalen Williams is back. After missing a month, then another month, then another month with a brutal run of injury, recovery, and reinjury luck for his wrist and hamstring, Williams played 20 solid minutes. 18 points, 6 assists, 4 boards and 8-14 shooting in JDub’s return.
The still-short-handed Thunder (Ajay Mitchell was issued a ridiculous one-game suspension for Saturday's fracas) easily beat the shorter-handed Sixers, who played a pretty hopeless game without Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Paul George, Quentin Grimes, and Kelly Oubre. That's 12 straight for the defending champs.
Final: Thunder (57–15) def.
