Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Jaylin Williams on Wednesday sustained a concussion and was placed into the NBA’s concussion protocol, the team announced.
Williams suffered the injury on assignment in the NBA G League with the OKC Blue in a 133-102 win over the Lakeland Magic. He recorded 13 points, six rebounds, three assists and one block on 6-of-7 shooting from the field in 26 minutes of work.
The 34th pick begins the return-to-play process as part of the concussion protocol. He will go through a series of steps and must exhibit symptom-free behavior prior to gaining clearance to resume basketball activities.
There is no timetable for his return.
