Daigneault talked about Williams&#8217; ongoing recovery with his surgically-repaired wrist. Williams also did the same. That&#8217;s been a big talking point that won&#8217;t go away for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what else happened at OKC&#8217;s Saturday, Jan. 10 practice:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Thunder practice today.
