The Oklahoma City Thunder will have a second NBA All-Star this season, as Jalen Williams is set to join Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in San Francisco next month.
Stephen Curry hit a long 3-pointer with 1:52 left on the way to 21 points, Andrew Wiggins scored 27 and the Golden State Warriors beat the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder 116-109.
After an extensive break and time to rest, the OKC Thunder are back in action as they look to play the 2022 NBA champs.
Victor Wembanyama is one of the league's very best players. The San Antonio star and reigning rookie of the year is an All-Star for the first time, one of the 14 players announced Thursday night as members of the reserve pool for the Feb.
The Golden State Warriors expect to have Stephen Curry available on Wednesday when they play a second game in two days, facing a rested Oklahoma City Thunder squad in San Francisco.
More than half of the Thunder’s losses this season have come against two teams OKC fans are none too fond of: Dallas and Golden State.
Williams was named a Western Conference reserve for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. The all-star honor is Williams' first. He was named an all-star after averaging 21.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists through 45 games this season. Williams also had helped lead the Thunder to a 37-9 record, which is the best in the Western Conference.
After a campaign that has been disjointed in concept and execution, the Warriors can make the case with wins on Tuesday and particularly Wednesday that they are, in fact, “figuring it out,” as Steph Curry implored fans (specifically “Twitter fingers”) to do two weeks back.
Steph Curry dropped 17 points in the second half and made key plays down the stretch. Andrew Wiggins dropped a team-high 27 points, including five 3-pointers. Kevon Looney matched his regular season career-high with 18 points and Gary Payton II (15 points, nine rebounds) stamped the game with a vicious slam dunk with under a minute left.
San Antonio Spurs sensation Victor Wembanyama is an NBA All-Star for the first time. Lakers' Anthony Davis and Clippers' James Harden are joining him.
Golden State’s latest wrinkle is inserting two-way center Quinten Post into the starting-five, taking the place of Trayce Jackson-Davis. Post, who has impressed in his first four games in an NBA rotation, gives the Warriors a new look as a floor-spacing center.
