Happy 98th Birthday to Marion Ross, born October 25, 1928! Over 195 roles including Teacher's Pet, Operation Petticoat, The Proud and the Profane, Colossus: The Forbin Project, The Drew Carey Show, Gilmore Girls — and of course, TV's Mrs. Cunningham on Happy Days! :)

Did You Know? Marion first played Mrs. Cunningham in a 1972 episode of Love, American Style, two years before Happy Days premiered! Ron Howard was already playing Richie, but Harold Gould played her husband instead of Tom Bosley!

Gutted for Jalen Williams. He worked so hard to get back. Such a loss but this team will find a way.

SGA crying in the postgame interview tells you everything you need to know about JDub’s injury

[Daily Thunder @dailythunder]

Thunder starts the season 3-0 after a 108-101 win over the Clippers. But the the result is far overshadowed by a serious leg injury suffered by Jalen Williams in the closing minutes.

This team is such a close-knit team, and Dub is a crucial part of the chemistry and character of this team. Seeing Jalen hurt, after finally being healthy, is just a gut punch. Not only because he's an elite player, but more importantly, because of who he is and what he means to the team, the fans, and the city.

Just unfair. Just devastating.

[Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar]

Thunder start the season off 3-0 with impressive wins over the Spurs and Nuggets but it doesn't feel like 3-0 at all for any OKC fan after that JDub injury.

[Addam M. Francisco @SuaveCEO_]

Ajay Mitchell has appeared much more comfortable over the last two games. 16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks tonight in 22 minutes.

Literally impacted every facet of tonight's game.

A JDub chant breaks out as Jalen Williams is being helped to the stretcher

[Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar]

OKC crowd starting chanting JDub.

Then the crowd starting barking for him.

JDub gave two thumbs up as he was stretchered to the locker room.

A cool moment from the fans to Jalen Williams.

But looks like an awful injury. You can feel the uneasiness in the arena.

[did chet get hit in the face today @didchetgethit_]

no

prayers for dub🙏

[Justin Martinez @Justintohoops]

Jalen Williams just gave two thumbs up while being stretchered off the court. The Paycom Center crowd chanted "J Dub" to show its support. Certainly wishing the best for him. What a scary play.

[The Sports Animal @sportsanimal]

Final from OKC

[Thunder Film Room @ThunderFilmRoom]

I just feel absolutely gutted for JDub, man.

Battles the wrist injury throughout the finals run, misses a majority of last year healing from that & with the hamstring issues, & now THIS.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores 30+ for the 2nd time this season.

SGA and Giannis are the only players with multiple 30 point games.
