Fri Dec 2 202217:33Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Questionable To Suit Up Saturday
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) has been tagged as questionable to play in Saturday's contest vs. Minnesota. Gilgeous-Alexander missed his second game of the year Wednesday, paving the way for Josh Giddey and Tre Mann to take on significantly elevated roles. Gilgeous-Alexander has played at an All-Star level through the first six weeks, ranking fifth in the league in scoring at 31 PPG. He has gone for at least 30 points in eight of his last nine games and dropped 32 on the Timberwolves back on Opening Night. His status will drastically alter the DFS appeal of all Thunder players, so fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off.

Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will miss just his second game of the season on Wednesday as he'll be sidelined against the San Antonio Spurs.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will play Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander was ruled out on Monday's injury report, then upgraded to questionable before being confirmed as playing. It has also been reported that Gilgeous-Alexander will not have any minutes restrictions. With teammate Josh Giddey (ankle) out, Gilgeous-Alexander should see a massive workload against a Clippers squad who is missing Paul George (illness), Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Marcus Morris (personal). Expect Gilgeous-Alexander to be a focal point in Tuesday's DFS slate.

Mon Oct 24 202221:52Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Miss Second Straight Game Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his second straight game with a hip injury as the Thunder are likely exercising caution with him. Tre Mann saw the spot start on Saturday without Gilgeous-Alexander, but it was Luguentz Dort who had a team-high 20 points on 15 shots. Dort will likely be asked to handle the scoring on Tuesday as Josh Giddey (ankle) has also been ruled out. A mixture of Dort, Mann, Aaron Wiggins and possibly Aleksej Pokusevski will likely run the offense.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) is questionable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night. Gilgeous-Alexander has been on a tear to start the season, but seems to have suffered a left hip contusion in Saturday night's loss to the Denver Nuggets. Given his injury history, the Thunder may decide to rest the young star. If that is the case, Josh Giddey will likely absorb most of the ball-handling duties while Tre Mann and Aaron Wiggins would be in line for more minutes.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will play in the team's season opener. Originally, he looked like a long shot to get his knee ready for the first game of the year. While head coach Mark Daigneault did not name any starters or give any specifics, we should see Gilgeous-Alexander out on the floor in some capacity. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on any news coming from the team about potential starters as game time gets closer. If he can play, the young guard is a big-time fantasy contributor.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) might not be ready for the season opener, according to team president Sam Presti.

It's worth noting that SGA has played in a total of 91 games over the last two seasons. The Thunder have been extremely cautious with him, so fantasy managers should expect that to continue. There should be more information in the coming weeks, but it sounds like fantasy managers could be without Gilgeous-Alexander for the beginning of the season.

Wed Sep 21 202221:01Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Miss At Least Two Weeks
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) won't be available for the beginning of training camp. The 24-year-old is dealing with an MCL sprain in his left knee and will miss at least two weeks before being re-evaluated. Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off a solid year, averaging 24.5 points, 5.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. However, after shooting a career-high 41.8% from deep in 2020-21, he took a huge step backward last season by sinking only 30.0% of his tries from downtown. He also missed the final 10 games with a right ankle injury. Nonetheless, Gilgeous-Alexander could be ready to roll for the start of the season, so his latest ailment shouldn't impact his draft stock.

Wed Apr 13 202210:24Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Maintains Happiness With Organization
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just wrapped up his third year with the franchise, the last two of which have seen the team combine for 46 regular-season wins. Despite that, Gilgeous-Alexander, the face of the team, remains committed, saying of his relationship with head coach Mark Daigneault and general manager Sam Presti, "Every time we talk, I get a little bit more excited I'm excited for the future," per Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman. The 23-year-old is coming off having set a career high in scoring (24.5 PPG) this year despite being setback by injuries once again. But he did attempt 18.8 shots on a nightly basis, an indication that his role as the primary scoring option with OKC is not going to change heading into 2022-23, further elevating his appeal as the Thunder work toward playoff contention again.

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) and Tre Mann (hamstring) have been deemed unavailable to play in Wednesday's contest vs. Utah. Gilgeous-Alexander's season comes to a close due to right ankle soreness, while Mann has been down with a strained right hamstring since March 26. The Thunder backcourt has been ransacked by injuries throughout the year, leaving Theo Maledon, Zavier Simpson, and Vit Krejci to see the vast majority of minutes over the final three games of the year. Barring an update saying otherwise, fantasy managers can anticipate Mann missing the rest of his impressive rookie campaign.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's contest vs. Portland due to a sore right ankle. Gilgeous-Alexander's absence will mark his third in a row due to the ailment, paving the way for Tre Mann and Theo Maledon to continue seeing elevated offensive roles. With OKC battling injuries up and down the depth chart, any member of the starting five figures to see sizable DFS appeal, with Aleksej Pokusevski and Isaiah Roby standing out. Since the All-Star break, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged a whopping 30.4 PPG across 13 contests, all while shooting 54.2% overall. His next chance to take the floor comes Wednesday against the Hawks.

Wed Mar 23 202219:05Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Not Suiting Up Wednesday
The Oklahoma City Thunder have ruled out point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. According to the injury report, he is dealing with right ankle soreness. However, the 20-52 Thunder are likely just trying to weaken their arsenal against the 20-53 Magic to help their tanking process. With SGA sidelined, we should see a lot of offense fall on the shoulders of rookie Tre Mann, who scored a career-high 35 points on Monday. He's a must-start player for the game. Aleksej Pokusevski should see a usage boost as well. He's startable if you can risk a potentially devastating field goal percentage.
