JDub is still DANGEROUS...

from Thunder Digest Hosted by Digest Media

Jalen Williams, commonly known as JDub, had a down year for the Oklahoma City (OKC) Thunder. Coming off All Star, All-NBA, and All-Defensive selections in the Thunder's championship-winning season, the expectations were sky high for JDub, who also signed a maximum rookie extension during that offseason. But this past year was certainly not as expected -- Williams strained both of his hamstrings multiple times, and missed more games than he played in both the NBA 2025-26 regular season and postseason. The season ended with the Thunder failing to defend their NBA Championship in the Western Conference Finals, falling short to the San Antonio Spurs in game 7. Yet still, despite the down year, someone from those same San Antonio Spurs took notice of Dub's dominance when healthy. Talented rookie guard Dylan Harper paid Jalen Williams his respects in a recent interview, confirming what Thunder fans have seen on the court all year long...that JDub is still that guy when healthy and available, an X-Factor for the Thunder offense, an All-NBA level talent. Thunder Digest host Gabriel Ebersole covers the highs of JDub's championship season, the lows of the past season, and how through it all, Jalen Williams is still the same dangerous force when on the court. --- Thunder Digest covers the latest reports, news and rumors regarding the Oklahoma City Thunder.
