Shai Gilgeous-Alexander left Oklahoma City’s OT loss to Indiana early in the third quarter with a sprained right ankle.
Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sprained his right ankle early in the second half of Friday’s overtime loss to the Pacers and did not return.
Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault said after the game that the severity of Gilgeous-Alexander’s injury would not be known until it was thoroughly examined.
Gilgeous-Alexander rolled his ankle while being fouled on a drive to the basket not long after halftime. In obvious pain, he remained in the game to shoot a pair free throws before being helped back to the locker room.
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 10 points, three assists and two rebounds in 17 minutes. Now in his fourth season, he is averaging 23 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 42 games.
