Holly Rowe’s postgame interviews with players have been known to provide raw emotion and intriguing sound bites.
However, when the ESPN reporter conducted an interview with the Thunder’s Jalen Williams in front of teammate Jaylin Williams following Oklahoma City’s 95–85 loss in the Salt Lake City Summer League on Monday, it made for an awkward exchange instead.
After the game, Rowe spoke with Chet Holmgren, who finished with 15 points in his first competitive action since undergoing surgery for a Lisfranc injury in his right foot in August. Holmgren, the No. 2 pick in last year’s NBA draft, is known for including his teammates in postgame interviews so on Monday, he was joined by Tre Mann, Jaylin and Jalen.
