Shai Gilgeous-Alexander News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma City Thunder

Good to go Sunday Gilgeous-Alexander is available and won't face any restrictions during Sunday's game against the Knicks, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander missed back-to-back games and was trending toward a third straight absence after being listed as doubtful. However, he was upgraded to questionable Sunday morning after participating in the Thunder's morning shootaround and has officially gotten the green light to return to game action. In March (12 games), Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 26.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 34.2 minutes per game.

Present for shootaround Gilgeous-Alexander was seen getting shots up at morning shootaround in advance of Sunday's game against the Knicks Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander is trending in the right direction to suit up Sunday, but his status will still need to be monitored. The Thunder have posted a 1-2 record without him this season, beating Phoenix on Friday but losing to Houston and Golden State in prior affairs.

Upgraded to questionable Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) has ascended to questionable in advance of Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander has missed two consecutive contests due to a right quad bruise, but he appears to be on the mend. His status could come down to pregame warm-ups, and while ensuring his rest-of-season health is likely an organizational priority, Oklahoma City remains amid a contested battle for the top seed in the Western Conference with Minnesota. Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins have worked with enlarged workloads in Gilgeous-Alexander's recent absences.

Doubtful for Sunday Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Impact This will likely be the third straight game on the shelf for Gilgeous-Alexander, and there hasn't been many updates on his progress. The Thunder are currently second in the Western Conference and are on cruise control, so it's possible they are being extra cautious.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact As expected, Gilgeous-Alexander has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second consecutive game. Cason Wallace should draw another start, while Josh Giddey handles more ball-handling responsibilities. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in New York.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Friday Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is doubtful to play Friday against the Suns.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander missed Wednesday's overtime loss to the Rockets due to a right quadriceps contusion, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to tolerate the pain enough to play, or if the Thunder will remain cautious with his recovery process given their position in the standings. If Gilgeous-Alexander ends up being ruled out Friday, then Cason Wallace could remain in the starting lineup.

Won't play Wednesday Gigeous-Alexander has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets due to a right quadriceps contusion.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander will sit out the second leg of the Thunder's back-to-back Wednesday due to a right quadriceps injury he suffered against Utah. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Phoenix.

Mediocre by lofty standards Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 24 points (9-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander's midrange prowess was not as sharp as usual, but it's a testament to his nightly dominance that he has failed to score 20 points just four times across 70 appearances this season. Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy represented difficult matchups for Gilgeous-Alexander on Tuesday, and another man up for the challenge comes to town Wednesday when Oklahoma City will face Dillon Brooks and the Rockets.

Impact The last time he faced off against the Raptors on Feb. 4, Gilgeous-Alexander was one rebound shy from registering a triple-double en route to a double-OT victory. Friday's contest wasn't as close as the first matchup, as the Thunder ballooned their lead by as much as 23 points, thanks in large part to Gilgeous-Alexander's efforts. The All-Star point guard is averaging 29.7 points on 53.1 percent shooting, 6.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.8 steals over 34.0 minutes per game.

Impact The buckets just keep coming for Gilgeous-Alexander, who has reached 30 points in 11 of 14 games since the All-Star break. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 30.2 points, 6.0 boards, 5.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.7 threes and 1.1 blocks over that stretch while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor.

Limited to 20 points Saturday Gilgeous-Alexander had 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Saturday's 118-112 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Saying that Gilgeous-Alexander was "limited" to just 20 points should say everything fantasy managers need to know regarding his importance on the Thunder offensive scheme. One of the best all-around fantasy assets, regardless of the league and format, Gilgeous-Alexander continues to put up elite numbers every time he steps on the court, to the point that this outing was just a bump on the road for him. The star floor general should bounce back when the Thunder take on the Jazz on Wednesday.

Big double-double against Indiana Gilgeous-Alexander logged 30 points (12-27 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Pacers.

Impact The 25-year-old guard didn't get enough help to avoid a loss, but Gilgeous-Alexander still delivered his eighth double-double of the season and first since Feb. 4. SGA's scoring remains elite, though -- he's hit for at least 30 points in 11 of the last 13 games, averaging 31.6 points, 5.9 assists, 5.5 boards, 1.8 threes, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks over that stretch while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor and 43.6 percent from long distance.
