Both players required surgery, and they will be sidelined for several months.
“Dear JDub & Cason, we are all behind you. Get well soon. Love, OKC,” the sign said.
Midtown Mutts is a dog park that is located in the former site of the food truck park Bleu Garten.
The Thunder, short-handed due to injuries, are 4-1 this season, falling to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday without Wallace, Williams, Alex Caruso, Chet Holmgren, Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber.
Oklahoma City will face the Rockets at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Background on J-Dub and Caso’s injuries
Williams was injured while being fouled on a drive with 1:14 remaining against the Clippers, getting tended to almost immediately by medical personnel after going down underneath the basket on the Thunder’s offensive end.
Williams’ ankle was draped by towels and players from both teams acted in immediate dismay as the stretcher was brought out. The game was stopped for about five minutes.
