OKC's Jalen Williams is likely to make the cut for the NBA All-Star Game next month, but it’s far from a certainty. Maybe 60/40.

The Oklahoma City Thunder's star small forward Jalen Williams has recently opened up about finalizing two DPOYs for deserving candidates.

At the end of the season, besides the DPOY award, the NBA decides the players that are on the first and second All-Defensive teams. However, the offense gets three teams which Williams said on the “The Young Man And The Three” show that he has a “big thing with that.”

So Williams’ 33 points on 12-of-25 shooting mattered, more specifically his fourth-quarter rampage. But his effort, uncommon for a young player fresh off the unrecognizable performance he’d had in Orlando, pushed OKC over the top.

Oklahoma City All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Thunder forward Jalen Williams discussed the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. Gilgeous-Alexander endorsed Williams for his first nod, while Jalen had a surprising take on potentially making his first appearance.
