The Oklahoma City Thunder will be without two starting guards for months, with Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace both sidelined.
The injuries leave Oklahoma City short-handed in the backcourt and create immediate questions about how the team will cover the minutes and production lost from its starting lineup.
Trade question emerges for Oklahoma City
With Williams and Wallace unavailable for an extended period, one of the central questions around the Thunder is whether they could explore a trade to add guard help.
Any move would be aimed at addressing the gap created by the absences of two starters as Oklahoma City navigates the months ahead without them.
