Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Sudden Absence: What This Means for Thunder’s Playoff Hopes
You know, keeping a star player on the sidelines never sits well with fans—especially when it’s someone like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Oklahoma City Thunder decided to rest their MVP on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls, tending to that pesky abdominal strain that’s been dogging him for most of last month. After bouncing back to play a couple of games post a nine-game absence, the guy’s still second in the league with a scorching 31.8 points per game — impressive, to say the least. Oh, and that streak? Shai’s been lighting up the scoreboard with at least 20 points in 123 straight games, closing in on Wilt Chamberlain’s legendary 126. Not bad company, huh? The Thunder, reigning champs and holding strong at 47-15, are clearly doing something right. Up next? A showdown in New York. Stay tuned.
