OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER NEWS

OKC Thunder news: Mark Daigneault provides major injury updates on SGA, Josh Giddey and JRE Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault announced injury updates for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey & Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.

MARCH 27, 2022 • USATODAY.COM

Ruled out for season Giddey (hip) has been ruled out for the season, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.

Impact Giddey has been sidelined since late February, and the Thunder ultimately decided to shut him down for the rest of the season. Giddey shined in his rookie season, averaging 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.0 threes in 31 minutes per game over 54 appearances. He should have ample time to get back to 100 percent before next season, and he could be even more productive with his first stateside campaign behind him.

Will miss more time Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will not play Saturday against the Nuggets, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander will sit out for the third time in four games, and it sounds like he will miss more time, as head coach Mark Daigneault said that Gilgeous-Alexander's day-to-day designation "is not sustainable."

MARCH 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Saturday Favors (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Favors will be sidelined for a 15th straight game due to low back soreness. Whether he returns again this season remains to be seen.

MARCH 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out indefinitely Giddey (hip) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Giddey remained limited at practice earlier in the week, so it's very much unclear when he might return to game action. Given the Thunder's status as a tanking team, there won't be any rush to get Giddey back on the floor, but he's a major part of the franchise's future, so they shouldn't have too much motivation to hold him out.
