Who is Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA)?
For everyone who competes on Jeopardy! in the future they may want to know who Gilgeus-Alexander is. While only 27 years old, SGA is a four-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA first teamer.
2025 was a watershed year for Gilgeous-Alexander. He was named NBA MVP, and the Thunder won the NBA Finals (SGA was named MVP of the series).
He played in 76 games during the 2024-25 season. Gilgeous-Alexander averaged a career-high 32.7 points, five rebounds and 6.4 assists per game.
Through 49 games in 2025-26, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game. He is currently dealing with an injury that has caused him to miss several games.
Even without SGA, the Thunder is rolling. They are 44-14 and in first place in the Northwest Division. The Thunder are also in first place in the Western Conference. They are coming off an eight-point win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and will play the Toronto Raptors next.
SGA was selected with the 11th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft out of Kentucky by the Charlotte Hornets. However, he never played for the Hornets, as he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in the draft. After a season with the Clippers, he was traded to the Thunder. He stayed with them for the next seven seasons.
