Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Out With Knee Sprain
6 months agoOklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is out for Friday's game versus the Golden State Warriors. Gilgeous-Alexander appeared to tweak his leg during Wednesday's narrow 110-106 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, and the Thunder are listing him with a left knee sprain. There's no indication yet that Shai is dealing with an extended absence, but it's worth noting how well in advance of Friday's tip-off he's being marked as out. The 25-year-old fantasy sensation has picked up right where he left off during his 2022-23 All-NBA campaign, piling up 24.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 2.6 steals per night covering five games this year. Fantasy managers hope SGA can go on Monday versus the Atlanta Hawks. In the meantime, 2023 No. 10 overall pick Cason Wallace and the sharpshooting Isaiah Joe, who averaged 15.3 points and 2.8 threes in 13 games without SGA last year, should offer some short-term streaming value.
