Cason Wallace undergoes successful shoulder surgery for OKC Thunder

Cason Wallace of the OKC Thunder successfully underwent surgery to repair a labral tear in his left shoulder on Friday. The procedure was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles and was necessitated by an injury sustained during a game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Wallace exited the game early after a collision and will be re-evaluated before the end of the regular season. His absence is compounded by the injury to teammate Jalen Williams, who also underwent successful surgery recently. To mitigate roster challenges, the Thunder signed Micah Peavy to a two-way contract and Ochai Agbaji to a standard deal. Additionally, Chet Holmgren is expected to return in 8-to-10 weeks following treatment for a small patellar tendon tear.
