Shai Gilgeous-Alexander playing status against the Nets
With him listed as questionable on the injury report, there are currently doubts as to whether Gilgeous-Alexander will be able to match up when the two teams meet on Sunday night.
Gilgeous-Alexander missed the Thunder’s last contest, a road loss to the Dallas Mavericks, which came 24 hours after dropping 40 points to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a huge win.
Joining Gilgeous-Alexander on the Thunder’s injury report is fellow player Jalen Williams, who is also questionable with a right hip strain. Meanwhile, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will be out with long-term injuries.

Meanwhile, the Nets have several players listed on the injury report, including reported Thunder target Cam Johnson, who is questionable with a sprained right ankle, and Cam Thomas, who has been out for a while with a hamstring injury.
On paper, this Nets-Thunder matchup would look like one of the league’s best teams going up against one of the worst, but that could certainly change if both Williams and Gilgeous-Alexander are unable to match up.
Last week, the Nets dropped 59 (!) points on the road against the Los Angeles Clippers, but managed to keep it much more competitive two nights later against the Lakers.
Meanwhile, the Thunder are looking to bounce back after suffering just their seventh loss of the season on Friday at Dallas.
Either way, the Thunder and Nets should tip off at 7:00 PM ET.
