Overview
- The Thunder list Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with an abdominal strain as out for at least one more week, with a re-evaluation in one week and an expectation he will miss the next four games.
- Jalen Williams, sidelined by a right hamstring strain, will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks.
- Ajay Mitchell remains out at least one week with an abdominal strain and a sprained left ankle.
- Oklahoma City will face the Brooklyn Nets shorthanded without Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams, and Mitchell.
- Gilgeous-Alexander has played 49 games this season, and 11 additional missed games would leave him short of the NBA’s 65-game awards minimum, though coach Mark Daigneault said decisions will favor player well-being over accolades.
