Good news! He will be returning to all-time okc thunders after enduring much agony.
The Oklahoma City Thunder (53-25) has turned in a 5-5 record in their last ten games, including dropping three of their last four tilts, largely due to the absence of superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who has been nursing a quad injury. The injury was sustained by Gilgeous-Alexander on March 20th, while playing the Utah Jazz. The MVP candidate for the Oklahoma City Thunder has missed six of the team’s last seven games; his lone appearance was in a game-winning performance at Madison Square Garden. After Wednesday’s game in Boston, the organization sent him back to Oklahoma City to recover from the injury and prevent deconditioning. Gilgeous-Alexander is expected to make a comeback now that the team is back in Bricktown for the last four games of the regular season. The 25-year-old superstar is not listed in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s initial injury report, so he will play against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday when he returns to the court. The first game of the final back-to-back set of the season is being played against a Kings team that is fighting for a postseason spot. It is unclear if Gilgeous-Alexander will also be available for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs. However, Mark Daigneault, the Thunder bench boss, will provide an update prior to Tuesday’s tip-off. Jalen Williams, a rising star for Oklahoma City, is still marked as questionable with an ankle injury on the injury report. Due to a left posterior tibialis injury, Gordon Hayward, who left Friday’s game early, is still listed as out. Otherwise, the Thunder are healthy with the only remaining players listed on the injury report being a trio of G League players, Adam Flagler, Ousmane Dieng and Olivier Sarr, as the OKC Blue get set to start the G League Finals on Tuesday in Maine.
