Thunder star Jalen Williams leaves on stretcher after gruesome leg injury vs. Clippers

Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams was taken off the court on a stretcher late in the fourth quarter of a 108-101 win over the Los Angeles Clippers after suffering what figures to be a severe lower leg injury.

With just over a minute to play, Williams drove to the basket and tried to go up for a dunk. He was sandwiched in mid-air by Kris Dunn and Derrick Jones Jr., which caused him to lose his balance. When he landed, his left leg got trapped underneath the weight of his entire body and the lower part of it appeared to break in the wrong direction.

The Thunder training staff immediately covered his leg with towels as his teammates looked on in distress. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander pulled his own jersey up over his face as Williams' leg was placed into an air cast and he was loaded onto a stretcher.

"We're not doing great. That's tough on the guys," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said during his postgame press conference. He did not have any specifics to share on the nature of the injury.
