Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams had surgery Wednesday on his broken left leg and injured ankle, ESPN and Yahoo Sports report. The team says he will be reevaluated before the end of the regular season.

Dr. Martin O'Malley did the surgery at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, with Thunder medical staff there, the team said. Yahoo Sports describes him as a foot and ankle specialist. The surgeons repaired a broken fibula, the thinner bone in the lower leg, and rebuilt ligaments in his ankle.

Williams got hurt late in Sunday's 108-101 win over the Los Angeles Clippers, Yahoo Sports reports. His leg buckled when he fell after contact on a dunk try. Clippers guard Kris Dunn was called for a flagrant foul. Williams left the court on a stretcher.

General manager Sam Presti said Tuesday the team would know more about a timeline after the surgery, ESPN reports. Full recovery from this kind of injury usually takes several months, ESPN says. Yahoo Sports writes that the reevaluation window leaves hope he could return for the playoffs. The team has not set a return date.

The injury is a hard blow for Williams. He played only 33 regular-season games last season because of injuries, Yahoo Sports reports. The Thunder had hoped he would return to the All-NBA form he showed in their 2024-25 title run.

Guard Cason Wallace tore the labrum in his left shoulder in the same game. He is expected to miss months, ESPN and Yahoo Sports report. Chet Holmgren, with knee tendinitis, and Alex Caruso, with an ankle sprain, are out with shorter injuries.

What we know: Williams had surgery Wednesday and will be reevaluated before the regular season ends.
What we don't: When he will play again, and whether he can return for the playoffs.
