Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OUT for Thunder vs. Jazz Game Sunday
BREAKING: Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been officially ruled out for the critical matchup against the Utah Jazz on December 3, 2023, due to left elbow bursitis. This marks the first game the reigning MVP will miss this season, as the Thunder maintain an impressive 22-1 record.
Gilgeous-Alexander has been a powerhouse on the court, averaging 32.8 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game. He recently showcased his scoring prowess with a stunning 33-point performance in just three quarters during a victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. His scoring streak is remarkable, as he has netted at least 20 points in 95 consecutive games, the second-longest in NBA history, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain‘s legendary 126-game run from 1961 to 1963.
The absence of Gilgeous-Alexander raises significant concerns for the Thunder as they prepare for this pivotal game against the Jazz. Fans and analysts are eager to see how the team adapts without their star player, especially with the next game against the Phoenix Suns just two days later on December 6.
This developing story highlights the ongoing challenges for the Thunder as they aim to maintain their dominant form. Stay tuned for updates as we monitor Gilgeous-Alexander’s recovery and the team’s performance against the Jazz.
