Open Extended ReactionsOklahoma City Thunder star forward Jalen Williams said he took nearly 30 painkilling injections in his injured right wrist to get through his team's recent championship run. In a video posted to his YouTube page on Tuesday, Williams said he had been dealing with a sprained right wrist for much of the season.
