• Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Drops 19 points in third quarter

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Gilgeous-Alexander registered 32 points (13-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks over 29 minutes during the Thunder's 122-101 win over the Clippers on Thursday. The reigning MVP was quiet by his standards in the first half, but he exploded for 19 points in the third quarter, which helped give the Thunder a large enough lead that his services were not needed in the fourth quarter. Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 32.4 points per game this season on an efficient 55.9 percent clip from the field (including 43.2 percent from three on 5.1 3PA), along with 6.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks over 33.0 minutes per game. He's two games away from his 100th consecutive 20-point performance -- the second-longest streak in NBA history behind Wilt Chamberlain's 126 straight 20-point efforts.

• Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Efficient in blowout win

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 28 points (11-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block over 27 minutes during the Thunder's 138-89 win over the Suns in Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal match. Gilgeous-Alexander was cleared to play Wednesday after missing one game due to left elbow bursitis. The injury didn't appear to impact the reigning MVP whatsoever, as he contributed to the Thunder's dominant win that saw all five OKC starters sit out of the fourth quarter. Gilgeous-Alexander's numbers this season are similar to what he produced during the 2024-25 regular season, though he's connecting on 56.2 percent of his field-goal attempts and 45.4 percent of his three-point tries, both career highs.

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Gilgeous-Alexander (elbow) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns. Gilgeous-Alexander didn't play in Sunday's win over the Jazz due to left elbow bursitis, but he's all set to return Wednesday. The MVP candidate should push Ajay Mitchell back to the bench. For the campaign, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 32.8 points, 6.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 33.3 minutes per contest over 23 regular-season games.

• Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Won't play Sunday

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Gilgeous-Alexander won't play Sunday against the Jazz due to left elbow bursitis. This injury comes out of nowhere for the reigning MVP. There's been no mention of this issue previously, and it's certainly possible that the Thunder are simply looking to give him a maintenance day. More clarity can be expected after the weekend, but for now, he can be considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Suns. With Gilgeous-Alexander out, the Thunder will likely lean more heavily on Cason Wallace and Ajay Mitchell, while Chris Youngblood could enter the rotation.
