I wouldn't expect OKC or Orlando to make trades right away. Roughly 30% of the NBA can't be traded right now. We rarely see trades before mid to late December, because most players who signed over the summer can't be traded until December 15. But could deals get lined up? Sure.
For Orlando, it's wait-and-see mode for Jalen Suggs injury. You hope for the best here. If he's out for a while, that means big opportunity for Jase Richardson and even more opportunity for Tristan da Silva. Jamal Cain will play more too, and maybe some Jevon Carter minutes.
With all due respect to Jalen Williams, part of the job is evaluating what's next for OKC. I think they'll largely be ok on offense. They've got enough creators and scorers. Defense, especially against big wings, is a concern. Maybe a trade comes, but that'd be a ways away yet.

Tyrese Haliburton on the Pacers being slept on as title contenders: “For sure, but that’s a part of it. We’re Indiana. We’re the Pacers. We really don’t care about outside expectations. We have a goal of winning a championship and we’re trying to take it day by day to get there.” https://t.co/ORQNkqiso1

LeBron James invokes Taurean Prince when asked how to improve the Sixers' rebounding: https://t.co/JqmiCrjkmi
Good win for the shorthanded Pistons on the road. Sixers were missing some guys too, so I don't know how much we learn from this matchup. Two of the best teams in the East for sure.
Ron Holland just put the clamps on Jaylen Brown. Brown had no room to move and Holland ended up stripping the ball away. Good stuff from Holland, who has done everything but make a shot today for the Pistons. Getting extended minutes with Ausar Thompson out.
Status alert: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (arm) has returned to Sunday's game.

I missed it live, but seeing the replay it looks like Jalen Suggs might have suffered a serious knee injury tonight too.
Status alert: Jalen Suggs (knee) helped to locker room Sunday. He suffered a non-contact injury to left knee while landing following a layup.
Gutted for J-Dub. That was brutal to watch.
Status alert: Jalen Williams (ankle) surrounded by trainers on floor Sunday. They are bringing a stretcher out for him.
Oh no...Jalen Williams. That is awful. Don't look if you don't have to, but he appears to have dislocated or broken his ankle.
