Thunder All-Star Jalen Williams reveals the brutal pain management regimen he endured amid injury en route to an NBA Finals championship run.

Williams recently revealed that he completely tore the scapholunate ligament in his right wrist during the Thunder's 125-112 win over the Phoenix Suns on April 9. Despite the injury and the immense pain that came with it, Williams didn't miss a single game during Oklahoma City's successful run through the playoffs that ended with a championship.

But that wasn't the only topic that dominated the airwaves in the aftermath. In the morning of Game 7, Kevin Durant was traded to the Houston Rockets in a historic seven-team deal. After three disappointing seasons with the Phoenix Suns, the 36-year-old has one last chance to chase a title.

Described by general manager Sam Presti as a “source of energy,” Williams brought a loud voice to the Thunder’s road to the NBA championship.
