The Oklahoma City Thunder are gearing up for an exciting matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers this Sunday. However, fans tuning in to catch a glimpse of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be disappointed, as the Thunder's star player will be sidelined.
Gilgeous-Alexander has been out of action since February 3 due to an abdominal strain. His absence has been felt, with the Thunder managing just two wins in the five games leading up to the All-Star break. Despite this, they showed resilience by defeating the Brooklyn Nets 105-86 in their first game back.
Facing the Cavaliers presents a unique challenge for OKC, especially with both Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, who is nursing a strained right hamstring, unavailable. The Thunder will need to dig deep without their top two offensive weapons.
As for Gilgeous-Alexander's return, fans will have to wait a bit longer. He is set to be re-evaluated later this week, and the team is undoubtedly eager to have their superstar back on the court as soon as possible.
