Oklahoma City Thunder All-NBA wing Jalen Williams underwent a follow-up procedure on his surgically repaired right wrist to remove a screw that was creating irritation during the final stages of his return-to-play process, the team announced Friday.

He will be reevaluated in 10 to 14 days.

The procedure was performed by Dr. Steven Shin at Cedars-Sinai Health in Los Angeles with Thunder medical personnel present. Shin performed the original operation in early July to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in Williams’ shooting wrist, an injury that he played with during the Thunder’s postseason championship run.

Oklahoma City is off to a 6-0 start despite multiple injuries, including the absence of Williams, who averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game last season.

Williams signed an extension of his rookie contract in July that includes supermax escalators if he repeats as an All-NBA selection, which would require playing a minimum of 65 games to be eligible. He will miss at least the first 11 games of the season.

Seth Rollins removed from this weekend’s WWE house shows in Japan

blank

Seth Rollins is no longer advertised for this weekendâ€s WWE house shows in Japan.

According to the ticket listings, Rollins has been removed from both the October 17 and 18 SuperShow cards, which will take place at Ryogoku Sumo Hall. He was originally set to face CM Punk on October 17 then team with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to take on Punk, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Jey Uso the following day. The updated lineups now have Punk wrestling Dominik Mysterio on the 17th while Punk & Nakamura will team up to take on Breakker & Reed on the 18th.

Rollins appeared to suffer a shoulder injury during his match against Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel, making appearances after show wearing a sling. It isnâ€t known if he will require surgery as he will need to be evaluated in Birmingham, Alabama. Both Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer believe the injury is legitimate, but note that some in WWE are skeptical given Rollins†injury storyline during the summer, which was claimed to be legit at the time.

A shocking storyline at the end of Mondayâ€s Raw seemed to write Rollins out for the time being. The final moments of the show saw Breakker spear Rollins, telling Reed and Paul Heyman that they were either with him or against him. Both made their choice quickly, with Heyman snatching the title from Rollins and Reed giving Rollins a tsunami. The show ended with the three united.
