Oklahoma City has been hit hard by injuries early in the season, and its veterans will need to make an impact to keep the team at the top of the standings.

On Sunday night, the Thunder beat the LA Clippers at Paycom Center to move to 3-0 to begin the season. However, the result of the game took a backseat to the injuries that piled up for the Thunder.

After Cason Wallace left the game in the first quarter with a left shoulder injury, attention turned to Jalen Williams after he suffered a serious left leg injury in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Leaving on a stretcher, Williams gave two thumbs up to the crowd on his way out, but it will likely be the last time Williams is on the floor for quite some time.

While the Thunder were hit hard by seeing their teammate go down, the season will rage on with the second night of a back-to-back against the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.…
