Jalen Williams has a comfortable-in-his-own-skin confidence that helped turn him into an All-Star. Here's the story behind the OKC star's evolution.

Despite the minor setback in his right wrist injury, Thunder All-Star Jalen Williams continues to work on his craft that's led to an increase in his free-throw attempts per game. As the Thunder prepare to take on the Grizzlies on the road, Williams will look to continue making more trips to the charity stripe.

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 Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault made a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander decision to save his All-Star for the fourth quarter, All-Star Jalen Williams helped slice an 11-point deficit in the third quarter against the Heat.
