Oklahoma City's playoff run just hit a serious wall. Jalen Williams is out for Game seven against the San Antonio Spurs after straining his hamstring, and that is a massive blow for a Thunder squad that has leaned on him all postseason. Without their Swiss Army knife, Oklahoma City's margin for error is essentially zero.
Shifting to the diamond, Eury Pérez of the Miami Marlins is expected to miss roughly two months after sustaining a leg injury — and here's the brutal part — he hurt it while stretching in the dugout. Not on the mound, not fielding a comebacker, just stretching. For a Marlins rotation that already has questions, losing Pérez for the heart of summer stings.
And over in the IPL, Shubman Gill put on a masterclass Friday night. The Gujarat Titans captain smashed a century as his side chased down two hundred fifteen runs in just eighteen point four overs, completing the highest successful chase in franchise history. Gujarat are through to the two thousand twenty six final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Gill looks absolutely locked in.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
